Following the steps below, what is the next step in constructing a line perpendicular to a segment
1 answer:
The next step in constructing a line perpendicular to a segment is; With compass at P, draw an arc that intersects a in two places.
<h3>How to construct a line segment?</h3>The steps in constructing the given line segment in the attached image are;
- 1. Place your compass pin on the given point which is above the line and draw an arc of any size that intersects the line at two points
- 2. Place the compass pin on one of the two points where the arc intersected the line and make a small arc below the line
- 3. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass pin on the other point where the first arc intersected the line and make another small arc below the line, the two small arcs should be intersecting below the line.
- 4. Using a straightedge, connect the intersection of the two small arcs to the given point above the line.
Looking at the attached line segment the next step is obviously With compass at P, draw an arc that intersects a in two places.
