Construct a Perpendicular Line through a Point on the Line
Step 1: Draw a circle centered at the point
Step 2: Draw a circle that has a larger radius than your first circle centered at the intersection of the s
Step 3: Use the compass to make a copy of the circle centered at the other intersection of the first circle and the line.
Step 4: Place points at the intersection of the two newer circles and draw a line through them.
Now you Try! Draw a line perpendicular to the given line, through point R.
