Solution
Step 1 : Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm and take a point P anywhere on the line.
Step 2 : Place the set square on the line in such a way that the vertex which forms the right angle coincides with P and one arm of the right angle coincides with the line AB.
Step 3 : Draw a line PQ through P along the other arm of the right angle of the set square.
Step 4 : The line PQ is perpendicular to the line AB at P. That is, PQ⊥AB ∠APQ=∠BPQ=90∘
Step 2 : Place the set square on the line in such a way that the vertex which forms the right angle coincides with P and one arm of the right angle coincides with the line AB.
Step 3 : Draw a line PQ through P along the other arm of the right angle of the set square.
Step 4 : The line PQ is perpendicular to the line AB at P. That is, PQ⊥AB ∠APQ=∠BPQ=90∘
