Solution

Step 1. Draw a line $M N = 5.8 c m$ .

Step 2. Draw an arc of radius $4.5 c m$ by taking M as center.

Step 3. Draw an arc of radius $5 c m$ by taking N as center and intersect both the arcs at point A.

Step 4. Join AM and AN.

Step 5. Draw $∠ D A N = ∠ A N M$ at point A.

Step 6. Produce DA to point C.

Therefore, the required parallel line is CAD.
