Question

Draw any line segment AB. Mark any point

M on it. Through M, draw a perpendicular to

AB. (use ruler and compasses).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) With M as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting the line AB at two points C and B.

(ii) With C and D as centres and a radius greater than MC, draw two arcs, which cut each other at P.

(iii) Join PM. Then PM is perpendicular to AB through the point M.
