Draw a line and a point A outside of the line Construct a li

Draw a line and a point A outside of the line. Construct a line that goes through A and is parallel to the given line

Solution

For this we follow the following steps:

1. First fraw a line L and mark a point A outside L

2. Now we draw a line perpendicular from point A

2a. Open a compass with length more than distance from L to A. With A as center mark two arcs on the line L

2b. With the same radius and the points on line, draw two intesecting arcs at D

2c. Join AD

3. This is the perpendiculat line

4. Now with this new line as base, when a perpendicular line is drawn passing through A, we get the required parallel line
