What is the distance from a point to a line


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 312 People


The distance from a point to a line is the length of the ____________ segment from the point to the line.

When three or more lines intersect at one point, they are ____________.

Answered by admin @



Answer: 1) Perpendicular

2) Concurrent

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.

As Perpendicular segment is the shortest distance to the point of the line.

When three or more lines intersect at one point, they are concurrent.

Because Concurrent is a situation when three or more lines intersect each other at a single point.
