Question
Draw two parallel lines at a distance of $5\ cm$ apart.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line $PQ$.
Step II: Take any two points $A$ and $B$ on the line.
Step III: Construct $\angle\text{PBF}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{QAE}=90^\circ$
Step IV: With $A$ as centre and radius $5\ cm$ cut $AE$ at $C.$
Step V: With $B$ as centre and radius $5\ cm$ cut $BF$ at $D.$
Step VI: Join $CD$ and produce it on either side to get the required line parallel to $AB$ and at a distance of $5\ cm$ from it.
