Question

Draw a line segment PQ = 8 cm. Take any point R above PQ. Construct a line parallel to
PQ through R. you can also write the steps not necessarily draw and post

Answer 1

• A line PQ = 8 cm is drawn.
• A point R outside the line is marked.
• A line XY passing through point R intersecting PQ at O.
• Taking O as centre, with a convenient radius, an arc is drawn cutting OQ at A and OR at B.
• Taking R as centre, with same radius, an arc is drawn cutting OR at C.
• Taking C as centre with radius equal to AB , an arc is drawn cutting the previous arc at D.
• D and R is joined and extended to S.
• Hence, DS is the required line which is parallel to PQ.
