how to draw perpendicular in construction
construction: draw a perpendicular to a line from an external point.
steps of construction:
1. let the given point be R . place the compass point at R.
2. adjust compass width to beyond the line.
3. draw an arc across the line, intersecting the given line at two points P and Q.
4. from each point P and Q , draw an arc below the line so that the arcs intersect at S.
5. join RS.
thus the line RS is perpendicular to the line PQ.
hope this helps you.
