Distance from a point to a line the perpendicular "R". Draw the vertical line through "P" and label its intersection with the given line "S". At any point "T" on the line, draw a right triangle "TVU" whose sides are horizontal and vertical line segments with hypotenuse "TU" on the given line and horizontal side of length |"B"| (see diagram). The vertical side of ∆"TVU" will have length |"A"| since the line has slope -"A"/"B". ∆"PRS" and ∆"TVU" are similar triangles, since they are both right triangles and ∠"PSR" ≅ ∠"TUV" since they are corresponding angles of a transversal to the parallel lines "PS" and "UV" (both
Jessie (given name) are Jane/Joan (Sìne), Janie (Sìneag), and Janet/Janice (Seònaid); though spelling may change slightly dependent upon the form of Gaelic (Irish or Scottish). An additional nickname for Jessie, heard in Scotland, is Jinty (or Jinny), a connection to Jean (female given name)/Jane/Jennie.
