Question

Draw a line l and a point A not lying on l. Draw the line m that is passing through A and parallel to `l`?

Answer 1

Please follow following process

Explanation:

1. Mark any point `B` on line `l`.

2. Join `AB`.

3. Take a compass and with center at `B`, draw an arc from `A` to a point `C` on line `l`.

4. Keeping compass as it is (i.e. equal to `BA`), draw an arc from `C` and `A`, to cut each other at `D`

5, Join `AD`. `AD` is parallel to `l` as `ABCD` is a rhombus.

You can also draw using a parallelogram by choosing `BC` different from `AB` (keep it longer than `AB`). In such cases, draw an arc of radius equal to `BC` from `A` and a different arc of radius `AB` from `C` both intersecting at `D`.
