Construct the perpendicular to a given line through a given point not on the line.
Can you use similar steps for this problem as in Problem 3?
Yes. Mark two points on l that are equidistant from the given point. Then draw two intersecting arcs.
Given: line l and point R not on l
Construct:
Step 1 Open your compass to a size greater than the distance from R to l. With the compass on point R, draw an arc that intersects l at two points. Label the points E and F.
Step 2 Place the compass point on E and make an arc.
Step 3 Keep the same compass setting. With the compass tip on F, draw an arc that intersects the arc from Step 2. Label the point of intersection G.
Step 4 Draw
