Draw any line segment ¯AB.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB. Mark any point MM on it. Through M,M, draw a perpendicular to ¯AB.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB.
Answer:
- Draw a line segment ABAB and mark a point MM on it.
- With MM as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line segment ABAB at PP and Q.Q.
- With PP and QQ as centres and radius greater than PM,PM, construct 22 arcs and mark the point of their intersection as K.K. Join MK.MK.
- ¯MK¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯MK is the required perpendicular through MM on ¯AB.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB.
