From a given point , without a straight line , only one perpendicular can be drawn to that line . Let A be the point , and DE the given line . A Let us suppose that we can draw two perpendiculars , AB , AC .

Let AB be the given straight line , C the middle point , and ECF the perpendicular . First , Since AC = CB , the two oblique lines AD , DB , are equally distant from the perpendicular , and therefore equal ( Prop . XV . ) .
