Construct Distance From Point to a Line CONSTRUCTION A certain roof truss is designed so that the center post extends from the peak of the roof (point A) to the main beam. Construct and name the segment whose length represents the shortest length of wood that will be needed to connect the peak of the roof to the main beam. The distance from a line to a point not on the line is the length of the segment perpendicular to the line from the point. Locate points R and S on the main beam equidistant from point A. Example 1

Construct Distance From Point to a Line Locate a second point not on the beam equidistant from R and S. Construct AB so that AB is perpendicular to the beam. Answer: The measure of AB represents the shortest length of wood needed to connect the peak of the roof to the main beam. ___ Example 1
