Given: A-Line segment
PQ
=5.6 cm and a point A outside the line. Required: To draw a 1 ar to
PQ
from point A.
Steps of construction :
(i) With A as the centre and any suitable radius,
drawn an arc to cut the line
PQ
at points C and D.
(ii) With C and D as centres, drawn two arcs of the equal radius (
CD
) cutting each other at B on the other side of
PQ
.
(iii) Join A and B to meet the line
PQ
at N,
then
AN
is the required perpendicular from the point A to the line
PQ
.
