Given are the steps to draw a perpendicular to a line at a point within the line when the point is near the centre of a line.Arrange the steps. Let AB be the line and P be the point in iti.P as centre, take convenient radius R1 and draw arcs on the two sides of P on the line at C, D.ii.Join E and Piii.The line EP is perpendicular to ABiv.Then from C, D as centre, take R2 radius (greater than R1), draw arcs which cut at E.

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...
