standard_description: Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
- The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
- 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $P$ is a point not contained on a line $L$.
Let $Q$ be the point on $L$ so that $PQ$ meets $L$ perpendicularly and let
$R$ be any other point on $L$ as in the picture below:
[IMG]
Show that segment $PQ$ is shorter than segment $PR$.
