What is the shortest path between a line and a point not on that line?
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
What is the shortest segment from any given point to a line is the what segment?
A perpendicular to the line which passes through the given point.
What is the different between a perpendicular bisector and a midpoint?
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
What is the definition of distance from point to line?
It the point is on the line the distance is 0. If the point is not on the line, then it is possible to draw a unique line from the point to the line which is perpendicular to the line. The distance from the point to the line is the distance along this perpendicular to the line.
How many lines can be drawn perpendicular to a given like through a point not on the given line?
In Geometry
What is the shortest path between a line and a point not on that line?
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
What is the perpendicular postulate?
The perpendicular postulate states that if there is a line, as well as a point that is not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
What are the difference between perpendicular lines and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.
What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to and passes through the point (4 6)?
That would depend on its slope which has not been given.
What is the shortest segment from any given point to a line is the what segment?
A perpendicular to the line which passes through the given point.
What is the different between a perpendicular bisector and a midpoint?
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
What paper folding method can be used to form perpendicular line segment?
Fold the paper along the line. Fold the paper again so that the first fold is folded onto itself and such that the second fold goes through a specified point - if any. The second fold will represent a line that is perpendicular to the first and which passes through the specified point.
To construct a line perpendicular to a given line through a point fold the paper through the point so that the given line segment lies?
upon itself
What if you repeat the perpendicular line segment construction twice using paper folding you can construct?
You can construct a parallel to a line through a point not on the line. (perpendicular line segment)
When you construct a parallel to a line through a point not on the line using paper folding what construction can you perform twice?
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
What construction do you perform twice when you are constructing a parallel to a line through a point not on the line using paper folding?
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
Constructions can be accomplished with paper folding?
Finding the midpoint of a segment Drawing a perpendicular line segment from a given point to a given segment Drawing a perpendicular line segment through a given point on a given segment Drawing a line through a given point parallel to a given line
