Question

Draw a line segment of length $6.5cm.$ Draw another line parallel to it at a distance of $4.2cm$ from it.

Answer 1

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION:

STEP 1:Draw a line segment $AB$ of length $6.5cm.$.

STEP2;Take any point $P$ on $AB$.

STEP3:At $P$ draw a ray $PX$making an angle of $90°$with $AB$.

STEP4:With $P$ as center and $4.2$ radius draw an arc intersecting $PX$ at $Q$.

STEP5:At $Q$ draw a line $CD$ making an angle of $90°$with $PQ$.

Now $CD$ is the required line.
