Solution

Steps of construction :

(i) Draw a linear pair $∠ D C A a n d ∠ D C B .$

(ii) Draw the bisector of $∠ D C A a n d ∠ D C B .$ Now, $∠ E C F$ is equal to $90^{\circ}$ .

Verification : $∵ ∠ D C A + ∠ D C B = 180^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} ∠ D C A + \frac{1}{2} D C B = 180^{\circ} \times \frac{1}{2} = 90^{\circ}$

$∠ E C F = 90^{\circ}$

i.e. EC and FC are perpendicular to each other.
