Question
Using a protractor, draw $\angle\text{BAC}$ of measure 70°. On side AC, take a point P, such that AP = 2cm. From P draw a line perpendicular to AB.
✓
Answer
Draw a line segment AC on a line L
- Take a protractor and place it on the segment AC such that segment AC coincides with the line of diameter of protractor and middle of this line coincides with point A.
- Counting from the right side, mark the point as B at the point of 70° of the protractor and draw AB.
- Now, measuring 2cm from A on AC, mark a point P.
- With P as centre, draw an arc intersecting line 1 at points E and F.
- Using the same radius and E and F as centres, construct two arcs that intersect at point G on the other side.
- Join PG.
