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


Answer:

A B M P Q K

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Draw a line segment ABAB and mark a point MM on it.
    A B M
  2. With MM as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line segment ABAB at PP and Q.Q.
    A B M P Q
  3. 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.
    A B M P Q K
  4. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯MKMK¯ is the required perpendicular through MM on ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB.AB¯.
