In the previous segment of Class 6 Maths, we learnt how to draw a perpendicular to a line
from a point not on that line. Here, let us understand the logic behind this construction.
Logic behind drawing a perpendicular to a line from a point not on that line
The construction of a perpendicular line from a point which is not on the line is as shown below:
Construction of Perpendicular to a Line from a Point Not on that Line
Let’s understand how the constructed line (line CP) is perpendicular to the given line (line AB).
That is, we will ????? ???? ?? ⊥ ???? ??.
