Draw any line segment ¯AB. Mark any point M on it. Through M, draw a perpendicular to ¯AB.
Answer:
- Draw a line segment AB and mark a point M on it.
- With M as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line segment AB at P and Q.
- 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.
- ¯MK is the required perpendicular through M on ¯AB.
