Question

draw a line l, parallel to a given line m at a distance of 5 cm away from m.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction

1. Make a line l .

2. Make a perpendicular to this line .

3. Extend the line.

4. Extend compass for 5 cm arc .

5. Place the compass on the line l at the point of perpendicular and make arc on the extended line .

6. Draw line through the point of intersection.

Answer 2

The required line is shown below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Follow the steps:

• First you need to draw a line l and mark a point P on it.

• Now by taking P as the center, draw an arc (Any radius) which intersect the line at A and B.

• With A as the center and radius more than AP draw an arc, similarly take B as the center and draw an arc without adjusting the compass.

• Name the point of intersection as Q and join P and Q.
• Mark a point X on the line PQ such that PX=5
• Take x as the center draw the same radius as before draw an arc intersecting PX at E
• With the help of compass measure the length of CD and draw with E as the center while compass opened the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previous art at F.
• Draw a line m passing though X and F.
