Given: MQ and point P on MQ
Prove: a. There is at least on line PR ⊥ MQ
b. There is only one line PR ⊥ MQ
Part 1: Show that there is one line 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 through point P.
Through the end point of 𝑷𝑸 , ray 𝑷𝑹 can be constructed in such a way
that 𝒎∠𝑹𝑷𝑸 = 𝟗𝟎. ∠𝑹𝑷𝑸is therefore a right angle and hence, by the
definition of perpendicular, 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 . Since rays 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑷𝑸 are
contained in 𝑷𝑹 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝑸 , respectively, therefore 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 .

Part 2: Show that 𝑷𝑹 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 through P.
There is only one line 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 or other than 𝑷𝑹 there is another line 𝑷𝑹 ⊥
𝑴𝑸 . Assume that there is another line 𝑷𝑺 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 . Then by the definition of
perpendicular, ∠𝑺𝑷𝑸 is a right angle and therefore 𝒎∠𝑹𝑷𝑸 = 𝟗𝟎. This
contradicts the Angle Construction Postulate.
Since the assumption leads to contradiction of postulate, it must be false.
Therefore, there is only one line 𝑷𝑹 ⊥ 𝑴𝑸 .

If 𝐾𝐻 = 4𝑥 − 15 and 𝑁𝐻 = 2𝑥 + 3. Find 𝑁𝐻.
SOLUTION:

4𝑥 − 15 = 2𝑥 + 3 Substitute the value of 𝐾𝐻 and 𝑁𝐻.

EXAMPLE: 𝐼𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒, 𝐷𝑇 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 ∠𝑀𝐷𝑄.
𝑀𝐿 = 5𝑥 − 12, 𝑄𝐿 = 2𝑥 + 3, 𝐷𝑀 = 2𝑦 − 3, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑄 = 𝑦 + 12.
Find the perimeter of 𝑀𝐷𝑄𝐿.
𝑀𝐿 = 𝑄𝐿 𝐷𝑀 = 𝐷𝑄
5𝑥 − 12 = 2𝑥 + 3 2𝑦 − 3 = 𝑦 + 12
5𝑥 − 2𝑥 = 3 + 12 2𝑦 − 𝑦 = 12 + 3
3𝑥 = 15 𝑦 = 15
𝑥 = 5
𝑀𝐿 = 5𝑥 − 12 𝑄𝐿 = 2𝑥 + 3 𝐷𝑀 = 2𝑦 − 3 𝐷𝑄 = 𝑦 + 12
𝑀𝐿 = 5 5 − 12 𝑄𝐿 = 2(5) + 3 𝐷𝑀 = 2(15) − 3 𝐷𝑄 = 15 + 12
𝑀𝐿 = 25 − 12 𝑄𝐿 = 10 + 3 𝐷𝑀 = 30 − 3 𝐷𝑄 = 27
𝑀𝐿 = 13 𝑄𝐿 = 13 𝐷𝑀 = 27
Since, we are looking for the perimeter of 𝑀𝐷𝑄𝐿. Just add the length of the sides
that we get.
𝑃 = 𝑀𝐿 + 𝑄𝐿 + 𝐷𝑀 + 𝐷𝑄
𝑃 = 13 + 13 + 27 + 27
𝑃 = 80
