For ease, consider a point given by math Q x 0,y 1 math , where math x 0 by 1 c a math since math Q x 0,y 1 math is on the line . Then we have math d perp PQ sin theta x 1 x 0 sin theta math .

In physics , the perpendicular axis theorem or plane figure theorem can be used to determine the moment of inertia of a rigid object that lies entirely within a plane, about an axis perpendicular to the plane, given the moments of inertia of the object about two perpendicular Coordinate axis axes lying within the plane. The axes must all pass through a single point in the plane. Define perpendicular axes math x , math , math y , math , and math z , math which meet at origin math O , math so that the body lies in the math xy , math plane, and the math z , math axis is perpendicular to the plane of the body. Let I sub x sub , I sub y sub and I sub z sub be moments of inertia about axis x, y, z respectively, the perpendicular axis theorem states that ref cite book title Physics author Paul A.

Point No Point is an outcropping of land on the northeast point of the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington U.S. state Washington , the United States . It was the location of the signing of the Point No Point Treaty . It was named by Charles Wilkes during the United States Exploring Expedition of Puget Sound in 1841. Named after Point No Point on the Hudson River which is also called Dietrick s Hook , the point is home to the Point No Point Light Washington Point No Point Light . Wilkes gave the point its name because it appears much less of a promontory at close range than it does from a distance. ref cite book last Phillips first James W. title Washington State Place Names year 1971 publisher University of Washington Press isbn 0 295 95158 3 page 109 ref The marine climate ensures plenty of Precipitation meteorology precipitation in winter and mild temperatures in summer. There are many productive habitats . The spit itself has sandy beach es with log jams, as well as some man made structures for boating . Behind the beaches is a large mixed freshwater saltwater marsh with a substantial shrub component. The waters surrounding the point react to swiftly running tide s, attracting many marine bird species. And there is a somewhat sheltered bay as well. Birdwatching Point No Point has one of the largest birdlists of any site in Washington. The point is owned jointly by the U.S. Coast Guard leased to Kitsap County and a private landowner who is knowledgeable and sympathetic to birdwatchers.

In Euclidean geometry , every triangle has two isodynamic points , usually denoted as math S math and math S math . These points are the common intersection points of the three circles of Apollonius associated with the triangle hence, the line through these points is the common radical axis for these circles. The centers of these circles are collinear they all fall on the circles of Apollonius Lemoine line , which is perpendicular to the radical axis defined by the isodynamic points. The isodynamic points have other interesting geometric properties, e.g., Inversion in a point Inversion with respect to an isodynamic point transforms the original triangle into an equilateral triangle .

The subsolar point on a planet is where its sun is perceived to be directly overhead in zenith , ref cite dictionary editor Ian Ridpath encyclopedia A Dictionary of Astronomy article subsolar point year 1997 publisher Oxford University Press location Oxford New York isbn 0 19 211596 0 quote The point on the Earth, or other body, at which the Sun is directly overhead at a particular time. ref that is where the sun s Ray optics rays are hitting the planet exactly perpendicular to its surface. It can also mean the point closest to the sun on an object in space, even though the sun might not be visible. For planets with an orientation and rotation similar to the Earth s, the subsolar point will move westward, circling the globe once a day, but it will also move north and south between the tropics over the course of a year. The December southern summer solstice occurs when the subsolar point is on the Tropic of Capricorn and the June northern summer solstice is at the instant when the subsolar point is on the Tropic of Cancer . The March and September equinox es occur when the subsolar point is on the equator . The subsolar point is frequently used in celestial navigation and the coordinates of the subsolar point at various times throughout the year often every hour can be found in a nautical almanac . citation needed date December 2011 When the point passes through Hawaii , it is known as Lahaina Noon . ref cite news title Noon sun not directly overhead everywhere author Nancy Alima Ali date May 11, 2010 newspaper Honolulu Star Bulletin url http archives.starbulletin.com content 20100511 Noon sun not directly overhead everywhere accessdate November 12, 2010 ref References Reflist ... of subsolar point for any user specified time DEFAULTSORT Subsolar Point Category Spherical astronomy ... subsolar de Subsolarer Punkt es Punto subsolar fr Point subsolaire hi hr Subsolarna to ka pt Ponto subsolar simple Subsolar point zh ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Point plotting is an elementary mathematics mathematical skill required in analytic geometry . Invented by Ren Descartes and originally used to locate positions on military map s, this skill is now assumed of everyone who wants to locate grid 7A on any map. Using point plotting, one associates an ordered pair of real number s x , y with a point in the plane mathematics plane in a one to one manner. As a result, one obtains the 2 dimensional Cartesian coordinate system . To be able to plot points, one needs to first decide on a point in plane which will be called the origin , and a couple of perpendicular lines, called the x and y axes, as well as a preferred direction on each of the lines. Usually one chooses the x axis pointing right and the y axis pointing up, and these will be named the positive directions. Also, one picks a segment in the plane which is declared to be of unit length. Using rotated versions of this segment, one can measure distances along the x and y axes. Having the origin and the axes in place, given a pair x , y of real numbers, one considers the point on the x axis at distance x from the origin and along the positive direction if x 0, and the other direction otherwise. In the same way one picks the point on the y axis corresponding to the number y . The line parallel to the y axis going through the first point and the line parallel to the x axis going through the second point will intersect at precisely one point, which will be called the point with coordinates x , y .
