Perpendiculars, Given a Point NOT on the Line
Given:
Line m and Point P not on the line.
Construct a perpendicular from point P to line m.
1. Place compass tip at point P. Using an arbitrary radius, draw arcs
Intersecting line m at two points. Label these points A and B.
2. Using a compass opening greater than } AB , place compass
point at point A. Draw an arc below line m.
3. Using the same compass opening, place compass tip at point B
and draw an arc from point B below line m, intersecting arc from step 2.
4. Label the intersection point X.
5. Draw line PX. This is perpendicular to m through point P.
