An illustration showing the construction used to erect a perpendicular from a point to a line. "With C as a center, draw the dotted circle arc so that it cuts the line at A and B. With A and B as centers, draw the dotted cross arcs at D with equal radii. Draw the required perpendicular through C and crossing D."

An illustration showing the construction used to erect a perpendicular at the end of a line. "With the point D as a center at a distance from the line, and with AD as radius, draw the dotted circle arc so that it cuts the line at E through E and D, draw the diameter EC: then join C and A, which will be the required perpendicular."
