Question

draw a line segment ab of length 5.5 cm draw its perpendicular to this line from the point outside the line ( using compass)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB of length 5.5 cm and mark point Y outside the line segment AB. Step 2: Taking Y as the centre and with any suitable radius, draw an arc cutting AB at C and D. ... Hence, XY is the required perpendicular to the line segment AB from point Y lying outside the line segment AB.
