Question

draw a line segment PQ=5.6 cm Draw a perpendicular to it from a point A outside PQ by using ruler and set square​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

aawwPQ

.

(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
