What should the compass settings be?

See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's describe the steps in consecutive order.


Step 1

Using point P as center, part of an arc is drawn that intersects line m at two points, A and B.

Step 2

Next, using A and B as centers and keeping the compass setting the same, we draw two more arcs that intersect above point P at point Q.

Step 3

By drawing a line through point P and Q, we have constructed a line perpendicular to line m.
