Construction 3
Let be a randomly chosen positive rational number, less than 1.
You have a stiff compass, such that you are only allowed to construct a circle with a radius
. Furthermore you have a straightedge. Is it possible to construct a perpendicular from a given point to a line?
Note : To make the task more difficult, assume that the distance between the line and the point is more than 10.
Bonus : Reduce the steps (you used for the construction) under 20.
