Question

draw line AB. Draw a perpendicular to AB at any point on AB. On this perpendicular choose a point M, 6 cm away from AB. Through M, draw a line CD parallel to AB.​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

(i) With M as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc intersecting the line AB at two points C and B.

(ii) With C and D as centres and a radius greater than MC, draw two arcs, which cut each other at P.

(iii) Join PM. Then PM is perpendicular to AB through the point M.

Answer 2

Given: point M perpendicular to AB at a distance of 6 cm.

To Draw: a line parallel to AB through point M.

explanation:

step 1 - In the first step, we draw a line AB and will also draw a line that is perpendicular to AB.

step 2 - In the second step, we have chosen point C at a distance of 6 cm away from line AB.

step 3 - we draw a line that is parallel to line AB and passing by point M.

Hence the required diagram is attached to this answer.
