Line Perpendicular to a Plane

This is one of my childhood photos of me and one of my friends playing with umbrella's in the rain. As I looked over this photo I realized that umbrellas cannot only be used as a protection from the rain or a fun play toy, but it can also be a line Perpendicular to a plane. As you can see the line of the umbrella handle is perpendicular to the umbrella. The umbrella acts as the plane and the handle, the line. You can find an umbrella in your coat closet, and in stores. An umbrella is not only a protection from the rain but can be a fashion statement when bright colors and designs are on them. Who Knew that umbrellas could have so many uses in the real world and in the geometry world.
