Question

Using a protractor, draw ∠BAC of measure 70°. On side AC, take a point P, such that AP = 2 cm. From P draw a line perpendicular to AB.

Answer 1

Draw a line segment AC on a line l.
(i) Take a protractor and place it on the segment AC such that segment AC coincides with the line of diameter of protractor and middle of this line coincides with point A.
(ii) Counting from the right side, mark the point as B at the point of 70° of the protractor and draw AB.
(iii) Now, measuring 2 cm from A on AC, mark a point P.
(iv) With P as centre, draw an arc intersecting line l at points E and F.
(v) Using the same radius and E and F as centres, construct two arcs that intersect at point G on the other side.
(vi) Join PG.
