Let’s take an example

 

  1. Given a line l
    with point P marked on it

  2. Put ruler on the line so that line is exactly above the ruler

3. Place set-square on top of the scale

  1. Move set square so that its edge is at the point P

  2. Draw a line along the edge of the set square, keeping set-square firm

    So, PQ is the line perpendicular to l
