Geometry 1.6.2 Standing On the Shoulders of Giants
Here is a line, m, and a point, C, not on the line.
Use construction moves (straightedge and compass -- tools in the applet) to construct
a line perpendicular to line m that passes through point C.
(hint - the first step is similar to the first step of constructing an "angle bisector")
Check that your construction passes the drag test.
Be prepared to share your reasoning.
