Draw an obtuse angle big. place a point p inside the angle. now construct perpendiculars from the point to both sides of the angle. which side is closer to point p?

I have drawn three obtuse angles showing three different positions.

then taken a point p inside it.

Now to draw perpendicular from a point to a given line

we draw a line parallel fom that point to that given line.

After that from that point we draw perpendicular to that line.

Now the question arises which side is closer to point p ,

The answer is if length of perpendicular from p to the line is longer that side is farther from the point p , and if the length of perpendicular is shorter then that that line is nearer to point P.
