Draw a line segment ^@ \overline{ PQ }. ^@ Take a point ^@ R ^@ | Math Question and Answer

Answer:

Step by Step Explanation:

Draw a line segment $\overline{ PQ }$ and mark a point $R$ such that it does not lie on the line segment $\overline{ PQ }.$
With $R$ as centre and an appropriate radius, draw an arc that intersects the line segment $\overline{ PQ }$ on two $2$ points $A$ and $B.$
With the same radius as in step $2,$ draw $2$ arcs with centres $A$ and $B$ respectively and mark the intersection of the arcs as point $S.$
Join $RS,$ the line segment $\overline{ RS }$ is the required perpendicular line to $\overline{ PQ }.$
