Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Question

Chapter 6, Problem 6RP

To determine

The number of lines perpendicular to a point on line is to be found

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 6RP

Infinite lines can be drawn perpendicular to any given point on line

Explanation of Solution

Given information : The following information has been given

A given point is on a line

Lines to be drawn have to be perpendicular to the given line

A line is a segment which has one other perpendicular segment on each plane passing through it.

Now, we know that infinite planes can be drawn perpendicular to a line, thus, infinite perpendiculars can also be drawn.

To determine

The number of lines perpendicular to a point on a plane is to be found

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 6RP

Two lines can be drawn perpendicular to any given point on line

Explanation of Solution

Given information : The following information has been given

A given point is on a plane

Lines to be drawn have to be perpendicular to the given plane

A line is a segment which has one other perpendicular segment on each plane passing through it.

Now, we know that only one plane can be drawn perpendicular to a plane, thus, only two perpendiculars can be drawn.
