Question

Sort first 5 steps to construct a parallel line to a given line 'l'.

• A. $\mathrm{Mark}a\mathrm{point}A,\mathrm{not}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{line}\text{'}l\text{'}.$
• B. $\mathrm{Draw}\mathrm{another}\mathrm{arc}\mathrm{with}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{same}\mathrm{radius}\mathrm{and}A\mathrm{as}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{centre},\mathrm{such}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{it}\mathrm{intersects}\mathrm{AB}\mathrm{at}F$
• C. $\mathrm{Draw}\mathrm{an}\mathrm{arc}\mathrm{with}B\mathrm{as}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{centre},\mathrm{such}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{it}\mathrm{intersects}\mathrm{line}\text{'}l\text{'}\mathrm{at}D\mathrm{and}\mathrm{AB}\mathrm{at}E.$
• D. $\mathrm{Mark}\mathrm{point}B\mathrm{on}\mathrm{line}\text{'}l\text{'}.$
• E. $\mathrm{Draw}\mathrm{line}\mathrm{segment}\mathrm{joining}\mathrm{points}A\mathrm{and}B.$

Answer 1

Following are the steps to draw a line parallel to a given line:

Step 1: Mark a point A, not on the line 'l'.
Step 2: Mark point B on line 'l'.
Step 3: Draw line segment joining points A and B.
Step 4: Draw an arc with B as the centre, such that it intersects line 'l' at D and AB at E.
Step 5: Draw another arc with the same radius and A as the centre, such that it intersects AB at F.
Step 6: Draw another arc with F as the centre and distance DE as the radius.
Step 7: Mark the point of intersections of this arc and the previous arc as G.
Step 8: Draw line 'm' passing through points A and G.

Line 'm' is the required parallel line.
