Constructing Perpendicular Line (part 2)

In this video, we construct a perpendicular line from a point to a line.  See if you can emulate the video with your own drawings.

Constructing Perpendicular Lines (part 1)

One neat use of geometry skills is construction.  Using simply a ruler and compass, you can create some important figures.  Check out this video for one example.

Real Life Example

As I told you in a previous post, along with other teachers, I am participating in a Wii Bowling tournament to raise money towards a scholarship for a student.  In Wii Tennis, there're many parallel and perpendicular lines.  Can you find them?

More from Mr. Kennedy

This exciting teacher is at it again! Here is Mr. Kennedy's video on some 3-dimensional geometry concepts. He added some cool animation. Wow, this guy is awesome.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Aside from parallel lines, this chapter also deals with relationships involving perpendicular lines.  This is the link to a video explaining some fo the key concepts.
