Construct Perpendicular Lines

High School Math based on the topics required for the Regents Exam conducted by NYSED.

Constructing a Perpendicular :
The shortest distance between a point not on a line and a line is along the perpendicular to the line. Constructing a perpendicular to a line uses the same process as constructing the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, but with one additional step. The first step is to swing an arc from the point and intersect the line in two places, which creates a segment that can be bisected.
