Constructing a Perpendicular Line Through Two Intersecting Circles, Cheat Sheet of Geometry

The steps to construct a line perpendicular to the intersection of two circles. By measuring the distance between the two circle centers and using compass and ruler, you can find the intersection points and draw the perpendicular line. This process is useful in geometry and can be applied to various mathematical problems.

1. Start by making a line segment and labeling each end A and B
2. Using a compass measure the distance between A and B and use distance as your
radius to create a circle with the center at A and another one that passes through A with
the center B
3. Find the intersection points of your two circles and make two points labeled D and E
4. Using a ruler draw a line that goes through points D and E
