✓
Answer
Steps of construction :
- Draw a line l and take any point A outside the line.
- Place a set-square, such that one arm of the right angle passes through A and the other arm is on line l.
- Place the second set-square as shown in the figure such that the vertex of the right angle is at point A.
- Hold the two set-squares in place and draw a line parallel to line l through the edge of the second set-square. Name the line as m.
Line m is the required line parallel to line l and passing through point A.
