Question

Draw a line. Take any point P on the line. Using the set square, draw a line perpendicular to the line at the point p

Answer 1

From given data we have,

• Draw a line using a ruler horizontal to the plane.
• And label the line as  "x"
• Mark a point "P" on the line "x".
• Place the set square on the top of the line such that, the edge of the set square is at the point "P".
• Draw a line along the edge of the set square.
• Mark the point as "Q".
• Join "PQ".
• ∴ PQ is the line perpendicular the line "x".

Answer 2

Hence we have constructed a line with the given conditions refer the figure

Step-by-step explanation:

• From the given we can draw a line .
• Let the line be "XY"
• Given that take any point "P" on the line
• Therefore mark a point "P" on the line "XY"

To draw a line perpendicular to the line at the point P using set square :

• Now from the line "XY" we can place the set square vertically on the top of the line "XY" and the edge of the set square must be at the point "P".
• From the point "P"draw a perpendicular line and mark it as point "Q"

• Now we get a line segment PQ

Therefore PQ is the line segment which is perpendicular to the line "XY".Refer the figure
