Fundamental Terms of Euclidean Geometry
① This example demonstrates how to construct a line perpendicular to a given plane in 3D space, showing the foot of the perpendicular and the right angle clearly. ② The core mathematical concept is the line-plane perpendicularity in solid geometry: a line is perpendicular to a plane if it is perpendicular to two intersecting lines in that plane; it also involves the foot of the perpendicular and orthogonal relations in space. ③ Construction details: using GeoGebra commands Plane to create plane α, OrthogonalLine to draw the perpendicular line from point D to the plane, Point to mark the foot, and Angle to label the right angle; objects include points A, B, C, D, line f, and plane α. ④ Suitable for high school solid geometry lessons or introductory spatial analytic geometry in college, helping students understand the geometric construction and dynamic verification of line-plane perpendicularity, and useful for teachers creating interactive materials.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
In 3D space, start by defining a plane through three non-collinear points. Then, from a point outside the plane, draw a line perpendicular to the plane, with its foot on the plane. Next, take another point on this perpendicular line and connect it to two points on the plane to form an angle, marking it as a right angle. The figure shows a line perpendicular to a plane, including the plane, the perpendicular line, the foot, and a right-angle marker, illustrating the geometric construction of line-plane perpendicularity.
