Construction: Drop A Perpendicular

C o n s t r u c t i o n : D r o p a Pe r p e n d i c u l a r

Instruction 1. Begin with a segment AB . 2. Draw a point, C, anywhere not on this segment. 3. Use the compass to draw a circle with center A of radius greater than the distance from A to AB . 4. Find two points where circle A intersect AB and label these points D and E. 5. Construct circle D congruent to circle A with center D. 6. Construct circle E congruent to circles A and D with center E. 7. Find an intersection of the circles D and E. Label this point F. 8. Construct CF . Continue CF through AB if necessary.
