Question

Construct a perpendicular to a line l through a point a on it??
​

Answer 1

Answer:

) Draw line PQ. 2)Draw a line L and consider point P outside the line. 3)Take P as a center, draw 2 arcs on line L and name it as points A and B respectively. 4)Taking A and B as a center one by one and keeping the same distance in compass, draw the arcs on other side of the plane.

Answer 2

Steps of construction:

Taking P as the centre, draw an arc to intersect this perpendicular at point X. Choose any point Y on line l, join X to Y. Taking Y as a centre and with a convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting l at A and XY at B.
