Question
Draw a line and mark a point R below it at a distance of 5.4 cm Through R draw a line parallel to the given line
Solution
Step 1: Using a scale draw a line AB and mark a point Q on the line.
Step 2: Place the set square in such a way that the vertex of the right angle coincides with Q and one of the edges of right angle lies along AB.
Mark the point R such that QR = 5.4 cm
Step 3: Place the scale and the set square as shown in the figure.
Step 4: Hold the scale firmly and slide the set square along the edge of the scale until the other edge touches the point R.
Draw a line RS through R.
Step 5: The line RS is parallel to AB.
That is, RS || AB.
