Draw any line segment AB. Mark any point M on it. Through M, draw a perpendicular to AB. (use ruler and compasses)

Solution:

With the help of a ruler and a compass, we can draw a line segment by following steps:

Let us do construction step by step.

Step 1: First step is to draw a line segment AB and mark a point M on it.

Step 2: After that, we need to take M as centre and a convenient radius, and then construct an arc intersecting the line segment A at points C and D respectively

Step (3) Now, By taking centres as C and D and radius greater than CM, we need to construct two arcs such that they intersect each other at point E

Step (4) Last step is to join EM. Now

EM is perpendicular to AB
