Problenm 1-5. To draw a line perpendicular to a


given line through a
point within
or outside it.
The line PQ and the point O are given (fig. 1-15).
B
Method I:
P
Arrange the longest edge of one set-square
along PQ.
(ii) Place the second set-square or T-square
as base along one of the edges containing
the right angle.
(i) Holding the base set-square firmly, rotate
the first set-square so that its other
edge containing the right angle coincides A

with the edge of the base set-square.

(iv) Slide the first set-square till its longest
edge is on the point O and draw the
required line AB. P

Method II:
