Rahul Sofat Solutions for Chapter: Practical Geometry, Exercise 2: EXERCISE 14.2

Draw a line segment of length $8 \mathrm{cm}$. Use a ruler and compass to construct a perpendicular on a point $P$ lying on the line segment $3 \mathrm{cm}$ from one end.

Draw any line segment $AB$. Take a point $P$ not on it. Through $P$, draw a perpendicular to $AB$ using a ruler and compass only.

Draw a line segment of length $9.2 \mathrm{cm}$. Construct its perpendicular bisector. Measure the two parts in which the perpendicular bisector divides the line segment. What do you observe?

Draw a circle of radius $3.8 \mathrm{cm}$. Draw any two of its chords. Construct the perpendicular bisector of these chords. Where do they intersect?

Draw a line segment $AB$ of length $10 \mathrm{cm}$. Draw perpendicular at the end points of $AB$. Are these two lines parallel?
