Draw a line segment AB = 6cm. Take a point C on AB such that AC = 4cm. From C, draw $\text{CD}\perp\text{AB}.$
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 6cm.
- Take a point C on AB such that AC = 4cm.
- Place protractor with its centre at C and base along CB.
- Mark a point D against 90°.
- Remove the protractor and join DC. Then, $\text{CD}\perp\text{AB}.$
