Which of the following constructions would help to construct a line passing through point C that is perpendicular to the line AB?A: Construction of an equilateral triangle with one side ABB: Construction of a hexagon with one side BC C: Construction of a perpendicular bisector through CD: Construction of a square with one side AB

Which of the following constructions would help to construct a line passing through point C that is perpendicular to the line ABA Construction of an equilateral class=

Respuesta :

To construct a line passing through the point C, so that is perpendicular to AB, we need two things:

• That the line is perpendicular to AB

,

• that the line passes through C.

We discard the options A and B because they would not be perpendicular or pass through C.

The correct option is:

C: Construction of a perpendicular bisector through C.

This is because a bisector line would ensure that the line we construct is perpendicular (90° with respect to AB) and also it wuld go through the point C. So it cover our two needs.

Note: We discard option D because the line of the square would not pass through C.
