Step-by-step explanation:
1. Draw a line segment
2. Take compass and take radius of more than half of the line segment
3. By placing the tip of the compass on point A, draw an arc above and below the line segment
4. Repeat with point B
5. You will find that the two pairs of arcs form a 'x' shape both above and below the line segment. Also notice that a new meeting point is created
7. Join the new points with a scale
Measure the 4 angles and you will notice that they all are perpendicular
