Given Data:

The given diagram is shown in Figure 1

  

Figure 1

Calculation:

Consider the given steps is,

Step 1: Draw the line that passes through the point P and intersects the line m .

Step 2: Draw the arc with the centre O and then label A by the use of the same radius and draw the arc with the centre P and then label B.

Step 3: Use the same radius and then draw the arc with the centre C and the label, then use the same radius to determine the arc with the radius

Step:4 Then draw the line that passes through the point P and D
