Perpendicular Through a Point Practice Worksheet

Construct a perpendicular for each of the following segments that goes through
its nearby point.

E
A B C

D
Parallel Through a Point
C

Plan:
1. Draw a line through the point intersecting the line. This will be a parallel line transversal.
2. Copy the angle made by the new line with the original up to the point.

This will be a corresponding angle, so we now have a parallel line.

j D E

Step 1: Draw a line connecting C to j. This will be the transversal.

We call the intersection D.
Call another point on the line E.
 F

C G

j D E

Step 2: Duplicate <CDE to corresponding <FCG.

Line CG is parallel to line j by the Corresponding Angles Converse.

Angle Bisector

C k

Plan:
1) Draw a circle centered at the vertex of the triangle.
2) Draw a perpendicular bisector for the segment determined by the two points.

This is the angle bisector!

 D

C E

Step 1: Draw a circle centered at the vertex of the triangle; the radius should be small enough so
that the circle intersects both adjacent sides of the triangle.
