Question

draw a line say XY, through a point Z outside it. through Z draw a line parallel to XY. using compass and ruler only and write steps​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

draw a line , say xy. through a point z outside it, draw a line parallel to xy using ruler and compasses only
