Question

Draw a line, say AB, take a point C outside it. Through C, draw a line parallel to AB using ruler and compasses only

Answer 1

Given a line AB with Point C outside it.

Mark point D on the line AB. Join CD

With D as center, and any radius, draw an arc intersecting AB at E, and CD at F.

With C as center, and same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting CD at G.

Open a compass to length EF

Now,with G as center, and compass opened the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at H.

Draw a line m passing through C and H.

Thus m is the line parallel to AB, and passing through point C

∴m∣∣AB
