Question

Which of the following is being constructed in the image?

Answer 1

A perpendicular bisector

Answer 2

Answer:

C) A line perpendicular to a given line through a point not on a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given construction we draw a perpendicular line from a point which is not on line.

Please see the attachment for construction and naming of point.

• We are given a line s and point P which is not on line.
• Through point P we draw an arc on line which cut at two points A and B
• Now we open an compass and mark an arc through point A.
• Using same arc we cut the arc A through point B at point C.
• Now we join PC. Such that PC ⊥ to  line s

Thus, C is correct option. " a line perpendicular to a given line through a point not on a line".
