Answer:
To draw a perpendicular to \[\overline{AB}\], we use the following steps: Step I: Firstly, draw a line segment \[\overline{AB}\] and take any point M on it. Step II: With M as centre and a convenient radius, construct an arc intersecting the line \[\overline{AB}\]at two points X and Y. Step III: With X and Y as centres and a radius greater than \[\overline{XM}\] construct two arcs which cut each other at D. Step IV: Now, join MD. Then, \[\overline{MD}\] is perpendicular to \[\overline{AB}\] and we can write it as \[\overline{MD}\bot \overline{AB}\].
