Answer to Problem 17CE

In the plane of points P , Q , and R , through a point R exactly one line can be drawn perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The lines drawn through point R in the plane of points P , Q , and R are perpendicular to side

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  2

shown in Figure-1.

Theorem used:

Through a point outside a line, there is exactly one line perpendicular to the given line.

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  3

According to the theorem stated above, through the point R on the line

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  4exactly one line McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  5say) can be drawn perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  6

Another explanation: Suppose line McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  7is a line through R perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  8Figure-2). If another line McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  9is drawn through R that will make some angle greater or lesser than McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  10with lineMcDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  11in that case McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  12will not be perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  13

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  14

Thus, through a point R on the line

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  15there is exactly one line perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  16from a point not on the line

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  17.

The theorem that justify the answer is stated as:

Through a point outside a line, there is exactly one line perpendicular to the given line.

Conclusion:

In the plane of points P , Q , and R , through a point R exactly one line can be drawn perpendicular to McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 3.3, Problem 17CE , additional homework tip  18
