Draw a line segment AB of 4 cm in length. Draw a line perpendicular to AB through A and B, respectively. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

To draw a line perpendicular to AB through A and B, respectively. Use the following steps of construction. 1.Draw a line segment AB = 4 cm. 2.Taking 4 as centre and radius more than ½ AB (i.e., 2 cm) draw an arc say it intersect AB at E. 3.Taking E as centre and with same radius as above draw an arc which intersect previous arc at F. Again, taking F as centre and with same radius as above draw an arc which intersect previous arc (obtained in step ii) at G. 5.Taking G and F are centres, draw arcs which intersect each other at H. 6.Join AH . Thus, AX is perpendicular to AB at A. Similarly, draw BY ⊥ AB at B. Now, we know that if two lines are parallel, then the angle between them will be 0° or 180°. Here, ∠XAB = 90° [∴ XA ⊥ AB] and ∠YBA = 90° [ ∴ YB ⊥ AB] ∠XAB+ ∠YBA = 90° + 90° = 180° So, the lines XA and YS are parallel. [since, it sum of interior angle on same side of transversal is 180°, then the two lines are parallel]
