1. Find the distance between P and 
. (That is, construct the segment whose length is the
distance between P and 
.)
The distance between a point and a segment is defined to be
the distance between that point and the line containing that segment.
2.
With the above definition in mind, what strategy would you use
to find the distance between H and 
.
Strategy:
3. Define the distance between a point and a ray so that it is consistent with definitions of the distance between a point and a line and the distance between a point and a line segment.
Given point A and 
, the distance between A and 
is defined to be
4.
Using your definition, what strategy would you use to find the
distance between K and 
.
Strategy:
