Steps:
Draw a line segment of length 6.8 cm.
Mark a point A outside the line segment .
With A as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc to cut or the line containing at points C and D.
With C and D as centres, draw two arcs of equal radius cutting each other at the point Q' on the other side of PQ.
Join A and Q'. Let AQ' intersect PQ at N.
Hence, AN is the required perpendicular from point A to the line segment .
