Respuesta :
Place compass needle on external point R
Make compass width greater than distance from R to given line
Draw arc cutting given at 2 points
Mark / label points of intersection P and Q
Don't change compass width, move compass needle to Q, draw another arc below line crossing previous arc
Move compass needle to P , make arc below line
Mark / label point of intersection S.
Draw line from external point R to point where arcs intersect, S
Line RS is perpendicular to line PQ and passes thru external point R
The steps in the proper sequence Geometry below:
Perpendicular to a point:
A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle. Explicitly, a first line is perpendicular to a second line if (1) the two lines meet, and (2) at the point of intersection the straight angle on one side of the first line is cut by the second line into two congruent angles.
