Draw a line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQ.PQ¯. Take a point RR outside the line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQ.PQ¯. Through R,R, draw a line perpendicular to ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQ.PQ¯.


Answer:

P Q R A B S

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Draw a line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQPQ¯ and mark a point RR such that it does not lie on the line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQ.PQ¯.
    P Q R
  2. With RR as centre and an appropriate radius, draw an arc that intersects the line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQPQ¯ on two 22 points AA and B.B.
    P Q R A B
  3. With the same radius as in step 2,2, draw 22 arcs with centres AA and BB respectively and mark the intersection of the arcs as point S.S.
    P Q R A B S
  4. Join RS,RS, the line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯RSRS¯ is the required perpendicular line to ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PQ.PQ¯.
    P Q R A B S
