To show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points and Line**: Let point \( P \) be the given point not on the line \( L \). We will draw a perpendicular line segment from point \( P \) to line \( L \). 2. **Draw the Perpendicular Segment**: ...
