Constructing Perpendicular Lines and Arcs

This video tutorial demonstrates how to construct a line perpendicular to a given line segment AB that passes through a specific point P. The process involves setting a compass on point P, adjusting its length, and drawing arcs to find intersection points. These points are labeled, and a new intersection point is created. Finally, a line is drawn through the specified points to form the perpendicular line, and the construction is verified.

What is the initial goal of the video?

• To construct a parallel line

• To measure an angle

• To construct a perpendicular line

• To bisect a line segment
