Question

draw a line segment AB=5.2 cm. draw a perpendicular to it from a point P outside line AB by using ruler and setsquare​

Answer 1

As shown in the figure $PQ\perp AB$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Draw a line segment $AB=5.2\ cm$ and draw a perpendicular to it from a point $P$ outside line $AB$.

Following steps:

• Draw a line segments $AB=5.2\ cm$ using scale.
• Take any point $P$ above the line $AB$
• Using setsquare, draw perpendicular line through point $P$ on line $AB$ which intersect the line $AB$ at $Q$

Hence, As shown in the figure $PQ\perp AB$
