Question
Draw a line $AB.$ Take a point $P$ on it. Draw a line passing through $P$ and perpendicular to $AB.$
✓
Answer
Steps for construction:
$1.$Draw a line $AB$.
$2.$Take a point $P$ on line $AB.$
$3.$With $P$ as the centre, draw an arc of any radius, which intersects line $AB$ at $M$ and $N,$ respectively.
$4.$With $M$ as the centre and radius more than half of $MN,$ draw an arc.
$5.$With $N$ as the centre and the same radius as in step $(4),$ draw an arc that cuts the previously drawn arc at $R.$
$6.$Draw $PR. PR$ is the required line, which is perpendicular to $AB.$
