Question

Draw a line segment
AB of length 6.3 cm. Take a point P outside segment AB. Construct a line PQ
a pan
parallel to segment AB.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

RS is the required perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment PQ = 6.3 cm

with P as a center and radius = 3 cm , draw an arc R

now, Place your compass on the given point (R). Draw an arc across the line on each side of the given point. Do not adjust the compass width when drawing the second arc.

Open your compass so that it is wider than the distance from one of the arcs to the point R. Place the compass on each arc and draw an arc above or below the point R. The two new arcs will intersect.

Use your ruler to join the given point (R) and the point where the arcs intersect (S).

RS is the required perpendicular
