Question

Draw a line PQ. Take a point M outside the PQ. FromM, draw line XY Perpendicular to line PQ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Given a line PQ with point A outside it.

2. Mark point B on the lie PQ join AB.

3. Taking B as centre, and any radius, draw an arc intersecting PQ at E, and AB at D.

4. With A as centre, and same radius before, draw an arc intersecting AB at F.

5. Open compass to length DE.

6. Now, with F as centre, and compass opened the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at H.

7. Draw a line m passing through A and H.

Thus m is parallel to PQ, and passing through point A.

∴m∣∣PQ.
