Question

draw a perpendicular to line segment of length 7 cm from a point anywhere above it. write the steps of construction​

Answer 1

Answer:

steps for construction:-

(i) Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm.

(ii) With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs, one on each side of AB.

(iii) With B as centre and same radius as before, draw arcs, cutting the previously drawn arcs at X and Y respectively.

(iv) Now join XY, meeting AB at O.

Thus, XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
