PROJECTION SUR UNE DROITE     Imprimer   En français


I°) Definition 

 Consider two intersecting lines A and D.

The projection of a point M on the straight line D parallel to the line A is the point M', the intersection of D with the right parallel to A through M.

Note:
If M belongs to the line A, then M '= M.

II°) Definition of the orthogonal projection of a point 

Replay animation

The orthogonal projection of a point M on the line D is the point M', the intersection line D and perpendicular to D through M.
III°) Projected medium 
A segment [AB] is projected in a segment [A'B '] and its midpoint I is projected into I' middle of [A'B'].

Knowing that I was the middle of [AB], we can say that I' is the midpoint of [A' B'].
