Click on Perpendicular Line tool.
Click above line AB to draw point C >> click on line AB. Point to line g |
To do that, click on the Perpendicular Line tool.
Line g passing through C is perpendicular to line AB (f). |
Point to line AB. | Next let us draw a line parallel to line AB. |
Click on Parallel Line tool.
|
Click on Parallel Line tool.
Click below AB to draw point D, then click on line AB. A line h, parallel to AB and passing through point D, is drawn. |
Point to the lines. | Now we will mark intersection points for the two lines. |
