The
Perpendicular Tool
The perpendicular tool is used to
calculate
the perpendicular line to a given linear object (line, ray, or segment)
through a point. In the figure below we select
the
segment (1) and the point (2) through which the perpendicular should
pass.
When we click the perpendicular tool the perpendicular to the segment
through
the point is constructed. Multiple perpendiculars can be constructed in
this way - just select the linear objects and points in successive
pairs.
