Draw a line parallel to the line AB and passing through C such that C is a point outside AB.
Answer:
- Draw a line segment AB and take a point C somewhere above the line AB. Join AC.
- With A as center, draw an arc of suitable radius cutting AB at D and AC at M.
- With C as center and same radius as in step 2, draw an arc EF cutting CA at G.
- Now, place the compass at D and adjust the pencil such that the radius equals DM. With the same radius, draw an arc with G as centre cutting the arc EF at H.
- Join CH and extend that line to both sides and name it L. Line L is parallel to AB.
