3.4 Proofs with Perpendicular Lines
Distance between a Point and a Line
The distance from a point to a line is the
length of the perpendicular segment from
the point to the line.
This perpendicular segment is the shortest
distance between the point and the line.

Given: 1 & 2 form a
linear pair. 1  2.

n
Prove: m  n.
Since 1 & 2 form a linear pair, their sum
is 180 degrees. They are also congruent,
which means they have the same measure.
So, each angle must be 90 degrees. This
means the angles are right angles, and hence
the lines are perpendicular by definition.
