Solution

Draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm.

Mark point C on AB such that AC is equal to 4 cm.

Place the protractor on AB such that the centre of the protractor is on C and its base lies along AB.

Holding the protractor, mark a point D on the paper against the 90 $°$ mark of the protractor.

Remove the protractor and draw a ray CD with C as the initial point.

Now, CD $⊥$ AB
