Explanation:

1. Choose arbitrary points A and B in the plane and draw segment AB.

2. Raise a perpendicular m to AB at A.

3. Raise a perpendicular n to AB at B.

4. Choose an arbitrary point C on line n.

5. Drop a perpendicular from point C to line m. Let D be the foot of this perpendicular.

6. Then quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.
