Question
Draw two parallel lines at a distance of 5cm 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 5cm cut AE at C.
Step V: With B as centre and radius 5cm 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 5cm from it.
