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.


Click above line AB to draw point C and then click on line AB.

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 below AB to draw point D >> click on line AB.


Point to line h parallel to AB.

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.
Click on Intersect tool, in the Point tool drop down. In the Point tool drop-down, select Intersect tool.
