Question

draw a line l and a point x on it through x draw a line segment xy perpendicular to l. now draw a perpendicular to xy at y.( use ruler and compass)​

Answer 1

draw a line l and a point x on it through x draw a line segment xy perpendicular to l. now draw a perpendicular to xy at y.( use ruler and compass)​

Steps of construction:

Draw a line l with known scale.

Mark a point x on line l using a compass.

By placing the ruler on the edge of point x, draw a line perpendicular to line l.

Mark the other of the line drawn as y.

By placing the ruler on the edge of point y, draw a line perpendicular to line xy.

Hence the construction.
