Question

5.
Draw a line segment AB = 6.8 cm. Take any point P outside it,
using ruler and compass we can draw a line
(b) intersecting with AB
(d) none of these
(a) parallel to AB
(c) coincident with AB​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

(1) Draw a line segment PQ of length 6.5cm using the ruler and take a point M outside PQ

(2)Take any point N on PQ and join M to N

(3)with N as center and take convenient radius, draw a arc cutting PQ at X and MN at Y

(4)with M as center and same radius as in step-3 draw a arc AB cutting MN at Z

(5)with the same arc XY, draw the equal arc cutting AB at W

(6)Join MW to draw a line l

thus the required parallel line l to line segment PQ is drawn
