Page 23 - To draw a straight line perpendicular to a given straight line of an unlimited length, from a given point without it. Let AB be the given straight line, which may be produced to any length both ways, and let c be a point without it. It is required to draw a straight line perpendicular to AB from the point c. Take any point D upon the other side of AB, and from the centre c, at the distance CD, describe (Post.
