Question
Draw a line segment LM = 6.5 cm and take a point P not lying on it. Using a set square construct a line perpendicular to LM through P
Solution
Step 1: Draw a line LM = 6.5 cm and take a point X anywhere above the line LM.
Step 2: Place one of the arms of the right angle of a set square along with the line LM and the other arm of its right angle touches the point X.
Step 3: Draw a line through the point X meeting LM at Y.
Step 4: The line XY is perpendicular to the line LM at Y.
That is, LM ⊥ XY.
