Let L is a line And A is a point not on the line L.
Now draw AC perpendicular to L.
Again let D is a point on L other than C.
Now in triangle ACD
∠C = 90
Since ∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 180
=> ∠A + ∠D = 180 - ∠C
=> ∠A + ∠D = 180 - 90
=> ∠A + ∠D = 90
So ∠D is an acute angle.
So ∠C > ∠D
=> AD > AC (since opposite to greater angle is greater)
=> AC < AD
So all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
