    Drop a perpendicular line (RS) from line PQ to cut through S. To fix the point Y: copy the length RS, from C onto the line PQ. This is CY. RS=CY. Join A to Y. This is the substyle distance SD. Finding SH and the centre of the equinoctial. A long line, perpendicular to AY is drawn- it will take the points G,Y,P and M. YG is equal in length to CR.

  3. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  4. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

  5. Pedal equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_equation

    In Euclidean geometry, for a plane curve C and a given fixed point O, the pedal equation of the curve is a relation between r and p where r is the distance from O to a point on C and p is the perpendicular distance from O to the tangent line to C at the point.

  6. Perpendicular distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_distance

    In geometry, the perpendicular distance between two objects is the distance from one to the other, measured along a line that is perpendicular to one or both. The distance from a point to a line is the distance to the nearest point on that line. That is the point at which a segment from it to the given point is perpendicular to the line.

  7. Trilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilinear_coordinates

    The ratio x : y is the ratio of the perpendicular distances from the point to the sides (extended if necessary) opposite vertices A and B respectively; the ratio y : z is the ratio of the perpendicular distances from the point to the sidelines opposite vertices B and C respectively; and likewise for z : x and vertices C and A.

  9. Ultraparallel theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraparallel_theorem

    Lines perpendicular to line l are modeled by chords whose extension passes through the pole of l. Hence we draw the unique line between the poles of the two given lines, and intersect it with the boundary circle; the chord of intersection will be the desired common perpendicular of the ultraparallel lines.
