Given are the steps to draw a perpendicular to a line at a point within the line when the point is near an end of the line.Arrange the steps. Let AB be the line and P be the point in it.i.Join the D and P.ii.With any point O draw an arc (more than a semicircle) with a radius of OP, cuts AB at C.iii.Join the C and O and extend till it cuts the large arc at D.iv.DP gives the perpendicular to AB.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
