Hi!
Given: l is a straight line and A is a point not lying on l. AB⊥ l and C is a point on l.
To prove: AB < AC
Proof: In ∆ABC,
∠B = 90°
Since, C can lie anywhere on l (other than M)
So, AB is the shortest of all line segments drawn from A to l.
Cheers!
A circle.
There is only one line (or line segment) that can be drawn between two distince points.

It is the perpendicular bisector
There is only one line (or line segment) that can be drawn between two distince points.
An altitude is a perpendicular drawn from a point to the opposite segment while a median is a segment drawn from a point to the opposite side such that it bisects the side.Altitudes and their concurrenceMedians and their concurrence

Drawing two tiny parallel lines over the segment will indicate that it is a congruent segment. The little arc symbol can also be drawn over the segment or the angles.
It is approx 39.31 square cm.
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
perpendicular is a line drawn at an angle 90 to other given line
