(i) Set square
You are given a line
Place a set square with one of its edges along the already aligned with given line, and the right-angled edge touches the point P.
Draw the line PQ along the edge of set square.
(ii) Protractor
You are given a line
Place a Protractor with one of its edges along the already aligned with the given line, and 900 mark is along with the point P.
Mark its center O on line l.
Draw line PO.
(ii) Ruler and Compass
You are given a line and a point P.
Take P as the center and draw an arc that cuts the line l at point A and point B..
Take point A and point B as a center and arcs in another side with the same radius. Aacrs cuts at point Q.
