Question

Draw a line segment PQ = 5.5 cm. Draw a line AB parallel to PQ at a distance of 3 cm from it.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

(1) Draw a line segment PQ of length 6.5cm using the ruler and take a point M outside PQ

(2)Take any point N on PQ and join M to N

(3)with N as center and take convenient radius, draw a arc cutting PQ at X and MN at Y

(4)with M as center and same radius as in step-3 draw a arc AB cutting MN at Z

(5)with the same arc XY, draw the equal arc cutting AB at W

(6)Join MW to draw a line l

thus the required parallel line l to line segment PQ is drawn
