Construction 6: To construct a line perpendicular to a given line through a given external point Given: Line w and point P outside of w To construct: A perpendicular to w through P Construct: With P as center and a sufficiently long radius, construct an arc intersecting w at B and C. With B and C as centers and equal radii of more than half BC, construct arcs intersecting at A. Draw PA. Then PA is the required perpendicular. (Points P and A are each equidistant from B and C.)
