Question

Draw a line segment AB = 4cm. Take a point P below AB and draw a line parallel to AB and passing through the point P

Answer 1

Six Steps for Constructing Parallels

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction:

(a) AB (4 cm) is the line segment being drawn initially and a point P is taken under it.

(b) Over AB, mark any point D and P are joined along with D.

(c) Taking a convenient radius, and D as the center, AB at E and PD at F are drawn by a cutting over.

(d) With P as the center and same radius as in step 3, draw an arc GH cutting PD at I.

(e) With the same arc EF, draw the equal arc cutting GH at J.

(f) Join JP to draw a line l.

AB || l which is the desired outcome.
