Solution
Steps of construction:
1. We draw a line segment PQ of length 5cm.
2. We take an external point A of line segment.
3. Draw an arc from A that intersects PQ at two different points B and C.
4. Draw perpendicular bisector of BC. It passes through A.
5. Draw perpendicular of this line through A.
6. This line is parallel to PQ.
