Question

40 POINTS Please Help. Thank you (:

I know you cant use the tools to solve this for me, I just need instructions on how to do this. I've done it before but im really confused right now.

Answer 1

Explanation:

its easier 2 draw out but im 2 lazy...so here are the steps:

- pick a point on line l dats on the left of pt P; call it pt A

- use compass n draw an arc w pt A as center dat goes thro pt P

- keeping the compass at the same angle, draw an arc w pt P as center that intersects w line l. call the pt of interection pt B

- again keeping the compass at the same angle, draw an arc w pt B as center dat goes thro pt P

- the two arcs from pt A n pt B should have 2 intersection pts

- use ruler 2 draw a straight line thro the 2 intersection pts

done :)

Answer 2

in the picture, I've shown you how you can align the ruler with the line and draw it through point P
