Question

Draw a circle of radius 3cm and centre O. Take any point P on the circle, draw perpendicular to seg OP at point P.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm with centre O.
2. Take a point P and join OP.
3. With P as centre, draw an arc.
4. With C as centre and the same radius, draw an arc cutting the previously drawn arc at M.
5. With M as centre, draw an arc cutting the arc(at step 3) at N.
6. With N as centre and radius more than half of MN, draw an arch.
7. With M as centre and the same radius, draw an arc, cutting the previously drawn arc at Q.
8. Join PQ.
