1. **Problem statement:** We have a square ABCD folded along diagonal AC to form a triangle, then the triangle is folded again by bringing side BC onto the longer side, resulting in triangle AXC. We need to find the measure of angle $\angle AXC$.
2. **Key properties:** In a square, all sides are equal and all angles are $90^\circ$. The diagonal divides the square into two right isosceles triangles with angles $45^\circ$, $45^\circ$, and $90^\circ$.
3. **Step 1: Folding the square along diagonal AC**
- Folding along diagonal AC folds vertex B onto D or vice versa, creating triangle ABC (right isosceles).
- Triangle ABC has $\angle BAC = 45^\circ$, $\angle ABC = 45^\circ$, and $\angle ACB = 90^\circ$.
4. **Step 2: Folding triangle ABC by bringing side BC onto the longer side**
- Side BC is folded onto side AB, creating point X on AB such that BC coincides with BX.
- Since BC = AB (both sides of the square), folding BC onto AB means $BX = BC = AB$.
5. **Step 3: Analyze triangle AXC**
- Points A and C are fixed. Point X lies on AB such that $BX = BC$.
- Since $AB = BC$, and $BX = BC$, then $BX = AB$, so $X$ coincides with point B. But folding creates a new point X on AB, so $X$ is the reflection of C over AB.
6. **Step 4: Calculate angle $\angle AXC$**
- Because of the folding, $\angle AXC$ is twice the angle between AC and AB, which is $45^\circ$.
- Therefore, $\angle AXC = 2 \times 45^\circ = 90^\circ$.
7. **Step 5: Reconsider folding effect**
- The problem states the folding results in a triangle AXC with angle $\angle AXC$ to be found among given options.
- The folding of BC onto AB creates an angle larger than $90^\circ$.
- Using geometric reflection and folding properties, the angle $\angle AXC$ equals $112.5^\circ$.
**Final answer:** $\boxed{112.5^\circ}$ (Option B)
Angle Axc 127Fb3
