Question
Draw any line segment `overline"AB"`. Mark any point M on it. Through M, draw a perpendicular to `overline"AB"`. (use ruler and compasses)
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Draw a line segment AB and take a point M on it.
- Now taking point M as center and appropriate radius, draw two arcs on line segment AB and name them C and D.
- Now draw two arcs taking points C and D as center and radius greater than CM. Name it E.
- Now join point E to point M. EM is perpendicular to line segment A
