Problem 104 of 7
Describe how to construct a perpendicular to line u through point G not on the line.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.
Hidden until you reveal it.
create equal arcs to line and bisect chord.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Point must not lie on the line, and the initial arc must intersect the line twice.
Enter your answer
Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.

Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Use the external point to mark two equal-distance points on the line.
2. Construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment between those points.
3. The perpendicular bisector passes through the external point.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
