Construct an angle PQR = 80∘. Draw a line parallel to PQ at a distance of 3 cm from it and another line parallel to QR at a distance of 3.5 cm from it. Mark the point of intersection of these parallel lines as A.
Steps of construction :
1. Draw ∠PQR = 80∘
2. With P as centre draw an arc of radius 2 cm.
3. Again with Q as centre, draw another arc of radius 2 cm. Then BM is a line which touches the two arcs. Then BM is a line parallel to PQ.
4. With Q as centre, draw an arc of radius 3.5 cm. With R as centre draw another arc of radius 3.5 cm. Draw a line HC which touches these two arcs. Let these two parallel line intersect at A.
