The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.
We are not here to do your homework for you.
Using a compass and ruler: # At the point you want the perpendicular line to cross, place a dot. Label it A. # Draw a circle centred at A with a radius of about an inch (two-three centimetres). Label the points it intersects the original line as B and C. # Construct two circles centred at B and C, large enough that they almost reach the other point and have the same size. Label the points they intersect at as D and E. # Draw a straight line between E and D. This line is the perpendicular line. This method can also be used to draw a perpendicular bisector, if the ends of the line you wish to bisect are labelled as points B and C.
i don't know u tell me
It is impossible to draw a straight line.
