TO CONSTRUCT A PERPENDICULAR LINE AT A GIVEN POINT

 

TO CONSTRUCT A PERPENDICULAR LINE AT A GIVEN POINT

1.       Draw line AB with the given measurement

 

 

2.    Mark the given point “C”

 

3.    Making “C” the center and taking radius of your choice, draw semi-circle “D E”

 

 

4.    Taking center “D” and “E”, and radius greater than the radius of the semi-circle, draw an arc with point “D” and “E” to intersect at “F”

 

 

5.    Join the point of intersection at “F” with “C” to form a perpendicular line to “AB”

 

 

NB: the arcs and semi-circles are drawn using thin/faint lines, while the outlines are ”AB” and “FC”(Thick lines).
