Answer
Steps:
Draw a line segment of length 5.4 cm.
Produce BA beyond A to any convenient point so that A becomes a point on a line.
With A as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc cutting BA produced at point C and AB at point D.
With C and D as centres, draw two arcs of equal radius cutting each other at point P.
Join AP and produce it.
Hence, AP is the required perpendicular to at A.
