Answer:
1. Draw the line segment of length 3.5cm.
2. Mark a point A on the line segment.
3. Use a compass to draw arcs on both sides of point A.
4. Without changing the compass width, draw arcs from the two intersection points on the line segment.
5. Connect the intersection points with a straight line.
6. Voila! You've constructed a perpendicular line passing through point A.
