Question

1. look at the figure. which construction is illustrated? a line perpendicular to (overline{ab}) through point (p) a line parallel to (overline{ab}) through point (p)

Explanation:

The figure shows arcs drawn from points on line $\overline{AB}$ and intersecting above and below point $P$. Then a line is drawn through the intersection - points of the arcs and point $P$. This is the construction method for creating a line perpendicular to a given line ($\overline{AB}$) through a given point ($P$).

Answer:

a line perpendicular to $\overline{AB}$ through point $P$
