You have a straightedge and a distance-carrier. (You can copy a distance (line segment) into a line. Remember, this is not a compass!) There is a line and a point (the point is not on the line). Is it possible, to construct a perpendicular line to the given line through the given point?
Note : You are only allowed to use the straightedge and the distance-carrier.
