Question
Draw a line segment AB = 5.8 cm. Mark a point P in AB such that PB = 3.6 cm. At P, draw a perpendicular to AB.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 5.8 cm.
(ii) Mark a point P in AB such that PB = 3.6 cm.
(iii) With centre P and some suitable radius draw an arc meeting AB in L.
(iv) With centre L and same radius cut arcs LM and then as N.
(v) Bisect arc MN at S.
(vi) Join PS and produce it to Q. Then PQ is perpendicular to AB at P.
