Question

how to construct this draw a line segment XY =7cm.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

Answer: Draw a line AB and then plot a point C which is outside the line AB.

From the point A, draw another line which passes through C.

With A as centre, draw a semi-circle on AB.

With C as centre, draw a semi-circle on the line which passes through C.

With the same radius as in above circles, and point Q as centre draw an arc which intersects the semi-circle drawn above.

Draw the line MN which is parallel to AB.
