Question

Draw a line segment XY = 7 cm. Take a point A outside XY. Draw a line parallel to XY and passing through
A. Find the distance between the parallel lines.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment XY = 8 cm.

Mark a point A above XY and join XA

With X as centre and any radius, draw an arc to intersect XY at I and XA at J.

Now with A as centre and same radius, draw an arc to intersect XA at Q.

Place the pointed tip of the compass at I and adjust the opening so that the pencil tip is at J.

Now with the same opening and with Q as centre, draw an arc to intersect the previous arc at P.

Join AP to draw a line m.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Draw a line XY of 7cm and then plot a point A which is outside the line XY.

2. From the point A, draw another line which is perpendicular to XY.

3. Now with A as centre, draw an arc on XY as shown in figure.

4. Now by keeping a point on the arc draw another arc as shown fig. and repeat the procedure from another arc also.

5. Now we will get one intersection point, now draw a line parallel to XY through that intersection point.
