Step II:A ray AX making an acute angle with AB is drawn.
Step III:After that, a ray BY is drawn parallel to AX making equal acute angle as in the previous step.
Step IV:Point A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 is marked on AX and point B1, B2.... to B8 is marked on BY such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3=....A4A5 and
BB1= B1B2 = .... B7B8
