JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 3.3 HGSH Look over at one of the walls. What is the distance from where you are to that wall? How would you measure that distance? There are a lot of distances from where you are to the wall, but in geometry when we speak of a distance from a point to a line we mean the perpendicular distance. The construction of a perpendicular from a point to a line (with the point not on the line) is another of Euclid’s constructions, and it has practical applications in many fields, including agriculture and engineering. For example, think of a high-speed Internet cable as a line and a building as a point not on the line. Suppose you wanted to connect the building to the Internet cable using the shortest possible length of connecting wire. How can you find out how much wire you need, so you don’t buy too much? Pg. 154

JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 3.3 HGSH How is PA related to PB? What does this answer tell you about where point P lies? Hint: See the Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Conjecture. Perpendicular Bisector Conjecture If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints. You already know how to construct perpendicular bisectors of segments. You can use that knowledge to construct a perpendicular from a point to a line. Link: Perpendicular to a line from an external point

JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 3.3 HGSH You have now constructed a perpendicular through a point not on the line. This is useful for finding the distance to a line. You are now ready to state your observations by completing the conjecture.

JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 3.3 HGSH Let’s take another look. How could you use patty paper to do this construction? On a piece of patty paper, perform the steps below. Fold the line onto itself, and slide the layers of paper so that point P appears to be on the crease. Is the crease perpendicular to the line? Check it with the corner of a piece of patty paper. Draw and label AB and a point P not on AB Label the point of intersection M. Are  AMP and  BMP congruent? Supplementary? Why or why not?

JRLeon Discovering Geometry Chapter 3.3 HGSH The construction of a perpendicular from a point to a line lets you find the shortest distance from a point to a line. The geometry definition of distance from a point to a line is based on this construction, and it reads, “The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.” You can also use this construction to find an altitude of a triangle. An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to a line containing the opposite side. An altitude can be inside the triangle. An altitude can be outside the triangle. An altitude can be one of the sides of the triangle. The length of the altitude is the height of the triangle. A triangle has three different altitudes, so it has three different heights.
