What is the first step in the construction of a perpendicular line from point P to line m? https://dlap.gradpoint.com/Resz/~0.KkSyxOmiyS4KwuFB.RwHYVs75PLDGN3WDowMJmHla-vSvq1kr5VFA1dmyd4g/11335527,A01,111,0,0,0,0/Assets/testitemimages/geometry_a/parallel_and_perpendicular_lines/mc155-1.jpg Add a point below line m and connect the points. Use a straightedge to draw a perpendicular line to line m through point P. Measure the distance from point P to line m. Construct an arc that intersects line m at two points.

jhonyy9:

any idea ?

lovetearia:

i said b

jhonyy9:

ok. but how will decide that is perpendicular sure or not is ?

lovetearia:

idk

jhonyy9:

i will try explain to you step by step first there is this drawn |dw:1559165655047:dw|

jhonyy9:

are you here please ?

jhonyy9:

lovetearia please collaborate

lovetearia:

ok sorry

jhonyy9:

so please check this my drawn

lovetearia:

im lost

jhonyy9:

there is the line m and there up the point P

lovetearia:

ok

jhonyy9:

the next step drawn a circle with center in P to get an arc what intersect the line m in two points ok, ?

lovetearia:

ok

jhonyy9:

so get the arc AB and this segment of line m with distance AB yes ?

lovetearia:

ok

jhonyy9:

in the next step you need getting the midle point of distance (segment) AB - in this drawn is point O

lovetearia:

ok

jhonyy9:

and in the next step unit the point P with this midle point of segment AB so point O and in this way will get the perpendicular line from P on line m do you understand it ?

lovetearia:

nope

jhonyy9:

what part no ?

lovetearia:

everything tbh

jhonyy9:

i ve wrote to you step by step above - and undertsanding this you can answer easy the question of this your math probleme

jhonyy9:

read please the last choice

jhonyy9:

Construct an arc that intersects line m at two points. this is the last choice - yes ?

lovetearia:

ok

jhonyy9:

so than you see my drawn with this circle so there is arc AB what intersect the line m in two points , point A and point B - yes ?

lovetearia:

yes

jhonyy9:

so what choice is the right answer ?

jhonyy9:

@Ultrilliam please how can i explain more understandably ? help me please

lovetearia:

the last on is the answer

jhonyy9:

yes the last one - but do you understand it now why ?

lovetearia:

no i dont
