Perpendicular from a Point outside a Line A powerpoint presentation by Carmelo Ellul Head of Department (Mathematics)
Perpendicular from a Point outside a Line Task: From point A construct a line perpendicular to XY. A X Y F G Conclusion: Construction: AB XY. Join AB. Centre A and any sufficient radius draw an arc of a circle to cut XY at F and G. AB is the perpendicular to XY. Label the point of intersection B. Centre G and same radius draw another arc. Centre F and sufficient radius draw an arc. B
