Question
Draw a line AB = 6 cm. Mark a point P anywhere outside the line AB. Through point P, construct a line parallel to AB.
Solution
Steps of construction :
- Draw a line AB = 6 cm
- Take any point Q on the line AB and join it with the given point P.
- At point P, construct ∠CPQ = ∠PQB
- Produce CP up to any point D.
Thus, CPD is the required parallel line.
