Question
Draw a line AB and take a point P outside it. Draw a line CD parallel to AB and passing through the point P.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line AB.
Step II: Take a point Q on AB and a point P outside AB, and join PQ.
Step III: With Q as the centre an any radius, draw an arc to cut AB at X and PQ at Z.
Step IV: With P as the centre and the same radius, draw an arc cutting QP at Y.
Step V: With y as the centre and the radius equal to XZ, draw an arc to cut the pevious arc at E.
Step VI: Join PE and produce it on both the sides to get the required line.
