Geometry is the science which investigates and demonstrates the properties of lines on surfaces and solids; hence, Practical Geometry is the method of applying the rules of the science to practical purposes.
1. From any given point?in a straight line, to erect a perpendicular; or, to make a line at right angles with a given line.
On each side of the point A, from which the line is to be made, take equal distances, as A b, A c; and from b and c as centres, with any distance greater than b A, or c A, describe arcs cutting each other at d; then will the line A d be the per-pendicular required.
2. When a perpendicular is to be made at or near the end of a given line.
With any convenient radius, and with any distance from the given line A b, describe a portion of a circle, as b Ac, cutting the given point in A; draw, through the centre of the circle n, the line b n c; and a line from the point A, cutting the intersections at c, is the perpendicular required.
