Question

Construct a line mn parallel to pq at a distance of 3 cm from it

Answer 1

Explanation:

Draw a line segment PQ of length 3 cm. With Q as centre and radius 4 cm, draw an arc. With P as centre and radius 5 cm, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at R. Join PR and QR to obtain the required triangle. From Q, cut arcs of equal radius intersecting PQ and QR at M and N, respectively.
