Perpendicular Line Segment is Shortest
Product Code : JA-MLK-1925
The Perpendicular Line Segment is Shortest model (SKU JA-MLK-1925) demonstrates a basic geometry result: of all the line segments that join a point to a line, the perpendicular segment is the shortest. Two lines are perpendicular when they meet at a right angle, and the model lets pupils compare the perpendicular segment with slanting segments from the same point. This leads to the idea of the distance of a point from a line. JaincoLab makes this model for middle and secondary maths labs.

Comparing segments with the perpendicular model
Measuring the perpendicular and several slanting segments from the same point shows pupils why the distance from a point to a line is measured along the perpendicular.
- Comparing perpendicular and slanting segments
- Distance of a point from a line
- Right angles and perpendicular lines
- Linking the result to the Pythagoras theorem
