Solution

Steps of construction:

1. Construct a line MN =5.8 cm
2. Taking M as centre and radius =4.5cm, construct an arc.

3. Taking N as centre draw another arc of radius 5 cm. These arcs intersect each other at A.
4. Now join AM and AN.
5. At point A, construct DAN=ANM
6. Produce DA to any point C.

Therefore, CAD is the required parallel line.
