Answer 1

QUESTION ---- Draw a line segment AB = 6.2 cm. Mark a point P in AB such that BP = 4cm. Through point P draw a perpendicular to AB.

ANSWER
________________________________

Steps of Construction :

*Draw a line AB = 6.2 cm

*So for Marking P at a distance of 4 cm from B

* Taking B as centre , take radius = 4 cm

*Draw an arc cutting AB at a point. Mark this point as P

*Now taking P as centre; take radius of any suitable length , mark 60° & 120°

*Bisect 60° & 120°

*We will get 90° from Point P

HENCE, THE DRAWN FIGURE IS THE REQUIRED FIGURE.

Hello friend,here is your required solution

Steps of Construction-

1)Draw a line AB=6.2 cm

2)Take B as centre for making point P at a distance of 4cm from B and take radius =4cm

3)Draw an arc cutting AB at a point and mark this point as P

4)Now taking P as centre,take a radius of any suitable length and mark 60° &120°

5)Bisect 60° & 120°

6)Hence,we will get 90° from point P
