Chapter 10: Q6. (page 382)

Describe how you would construct each of the following:

The perpendicular to BC¯at C.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The construction of perpendicular toBC¯is described.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.   

The given statement is “perpendicular toBC¯atC”.

02

Step 2. Concept used.

A perpendicular is defined as a straight line that makes the right angle (90 degrees) with the other line.

03

Step 3. Construction.

The procedure to construct perpendicular to BC¯:

  • Consider the line segmentBC¯.and extend it.
  • Using Cas centre draw two arcs of same radii that intersects the line BC¯at two

PointsX  &Y.

  • With X  &Yas centers and suitable radius draw two arcs that intersect at pointZ.
  • Draw the lineCZ¯.
  • The line CZ¯is perpendicular toBC¯.

The construction is shown below.

Therefore, The construction of perpendicular to BC¯is described.
