Draw a line through point P and parallel to AB:

Open in App

Solution

Steps of Construction :
1. From the point P construct a line segment meeting AB
2. Taking Q as centre and some suitable radius construct an arc CD.
3. Taking P as centre and same radius construct another arc which meets PQ at the point E
4. Taking E as centre and radius equal to CD cut this arc at the point F.
5. Now join PF and produce it to both sides to L and M.
Here the line LM is parallel to the given line AB.
