Question

according to the partial construction shown what is the next step in consructing a line perpendicular to point off a line​

Answer 1

Answer:

Place compass at P and, with compass set to segment AB, draw an arc that intersects line PA ⇒ 2nd answer

Explanation:

Using your straightedge, draw a transversal through point P

 This is simply a straight line which passes through P and intersects

  with the given line

2. Using the construction COPY AN ANGLE, construct a copy of the

  angle formed by the transversal and the given line such that the

  vertex of the copied angle will be point P

3. Draw an arc centered at A and intersecting the given line and the  

  transversal at B and C.

4. Draw an arc of the same distance centered at P intersecting the

  transversal at C'

5. Use the compass to measure the distance from B to C, and

   with the compass centered at C' scribe an arc whose radius is

   the distance from B to C intersecting the arc from Step 4 at B'.

6. Draw the line from P through B' which is the parallel line to the

  given line

Answer 2

Answer:

With compass at P, draw an arc that intersects a in two places.

Explanation:

A compass can be used to draw different types of curves and lines. An arc is a curve which is a part of a circle. In order to sketch a perpendicular line to a given point off a line, a compass can be used. The compass rigid leg will be placed at a specific point and the other leg with the lead will be used to make the necessary arc.
