Draw any line segment ¯AB. Mark any point M on it. Through M, draw a perpendicular to ¯AB.


Answer:

A B M P Q K

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Draw a line segment AB and mark a point M on it.
    A B M
  2. With M as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line segment AB at P and Q.
    A B M P Q
  3. With P and Q as centres and radius greater than PM, construct 2 arcs and mark the point of their intersection as K. Join MK.
    A B M P Q K
  4. ¯MK is the required perpendicular through M on ¯AB.
