Given are the steps to draw a perpendicular to a line from a point outside the line, when the point is nearer the centre of line.Arrange the steps. Let AB be the line and P be the point outside the linei.Take P as centre and take some convenient radius draw arcs which cut AB at C, D.ii.Join E, F and extend it, which is perpendicular to AB.iii.From C, D with radius R1 (more than half of CD), draw arcs which cut each other at E.iv.Again from C, D with radius R2 (more than R1), draw arcs which cut each other at F.

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...
