Question

EXERCISE 14.2
1 Draw a line segment of length 8 cm. Use a ruler and compass to construct a perpendicular
on a point P lying on the line segment 3 cm from one end.
2. Draw any line segment AB. Take a point P not on it. Through P, draw a perpendicular to
AB using a ruler and compass only​

Answer 1

Answer:

it formed a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

by taking point p on a,b it things

Answer 2

EXERCISE 14.2

1. Steps of construction:

Draw a line segment with a scale of 8 cm with the help of ruler.

Mark the end points of line segment as A and B.

From point A with a scale of 3 cm draw an arc on the line AB using a compass.

A point where the line and arc drawn from point A intersects mark it as P.

Place the ruler at edge of point P and draw a line perpendicular to the line AB.

Hence the required construction.

2. Steps of construction

Draw a line segment with known scale using a ruler and mark it as AB.

From point A draw an arc of known scale with a help of compass.

A point where the line and arc drawn from point A intersects mark it as P.

Place the ruler at edge of point P and draw a line perpendicular to the line AB.

Hence the required construction.
