...as an axis, it can be brought to coincide with A A CP'. § 57 339. Definitions. A line is said to be perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular to every line in that plane which passes through its foot, — ie the point where it meets the plane. The plane is then said to be perpendicular... | |
