Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Using a compass, construct a perpendicular line from point A to the line BC. Describe the steps you use.
[3 marks]2.
Construct a perpendicular from point P to line L where P is 5 cm away from L. Measure the perpendicular segment.
[3 marks]3.
In a business planning scenario, a delivery truck is parked at point D. The loading bay entrance is represented by line E. Construct the shortest path from D to line E using a compass, representing the perpendicular distance.
[4 marks]4.
Construct a perpendicular from point M to the line representing a financial growth trend. Explain how this helps in determining the best point for investment.
[4 marks]5.
Construct a perpendicular from a point representing a branch office to a line representing the main company's profit trend. Show the construction steps.
[3 marks]6.
A line shows the price trend of a stock. Point Q indicates a recent price, 8 units above the trend line. Construct the perpendicular from Q to the line to find the minimal adjustment needed.
[3 marks]7.
A business analyst wants to find the shortest distance from a point representing a new market to a line indicating current market capacity. Use compass construction to find this distance.
[4 marks]8.
Construct a perpendicular from point R to line S and measure the length. Explain why this length is important in a financial analysis context.
[3 marks]9.
Challenge: Given a line representing profit over time, construct the perpendicular from a specific point to analyze the maximum profit point. Describe your steps.
[4 marks]10.
Error analysis: A student constructs a perpendicular but the line does not appear to be perpendicular. Identify the common mistake and describe how to correct it.
[3 marks]11.
Mixed review: Construct a perpendicular from point T to a line representing sales growth. Then, calculate the length of this perpendicular.
