The next step is to to construct a line through point R is the option;
- Place the compass on point T. without changing the setting from the previous step, draw a small arc above [tex]\overleftrightarrow{ST}[/tex]
What are the steps to construct a perpendicular to a line?
The steps to construct a perpendicular through the point R are;
- Place the compass at point R and draw an arc intersecting the line ST at the point S and T.
- Place the compass at point S and draw the arc given in the drawing.
- Place the arc at point T and without changing the setting draw an arc above the line ST to intersect the previous arc.
- Join the point of intersection of the arcs to the point R to complete the construction of the perpendicular to the line ST passing through R
The step that should be taken next to construct a line through point R that is perpendicular to [tex]\overleftrightarrow{ST}[/tex] is therefore;
Place the compass on point T. without changing the setting from the previous step, draw a small arc above [tex]\overleftrightarrow{ST}[/tex]
