Given are the steps to draw a perpendicular to a line at a point within the line when the point is near the centre of a line. Arrange the steps. Let AB be the line and P be the point in it i. P as centre, take convenient radius R1 and draw arcs on the two sides of P on the line at C, D. ii. Join E and P iii. The line EP is perpendicular to AB iv. Then from C, D as centre, take R2 radius (greater than R1), draw arcs which cut at E.

Here uses the concept of a locus. Every 2 points have a particular line that is every point on line is equidistant from both the points. The above procedure shows how the line is build up using arcs of the similar radius.
