Page 90 - The projection of a point on a line is the foot of the perpendicular from the point to the line. Thus A
Page 24 - The third side is called the base of the isosceles triangle, and the equal sides are called the sides. A triangle which has no two sides equal is called a scalene triangle. The distance from one point to another is the length of the straight line-segment joining them. The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular from that point to that line. That this perpendicular is unique will be proved later. This is the meaning of the word distance in plane geometry. In speaking of...
