In this video, we learn how to construct a perpendicular line through a given point using basic geometric tools and the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem. Follow along step by step as we solve examples with different points and lines.
What we'll cover:
📌 Understanding the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
📌 Constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line
📌 Constructing a perpendicular line through a point not on a line
Perfect for geometry students, homeschooling, or anyone learning basic constructions with a compass and straightedge.
