Q : Draw linel and construct another line m parallel to line l at a perpendicular distance of 5 cm
This question is tricky please help me out.
Follow the given steps to construct the lines.
Step 1: Draw a line l.
Step 2: Take a point O on l.
Step 3: Taking O as centre and any convenient radius, draw an arc which cuts the line l in P and Q.
Step 4: With P and Q as centres and radius greater that OP (or OQ), draw two arcs which intersect in R.
Step 5: Join OR.
Step 6: With O as centre and radius 5 cm, mark an arc which intersects OR in S.
Step 7: With S as centre draw an arc which intersect OS in T.
Step 8: With T as centre and radius PU (or QU), mark an arc which intersects the prrevious arc in V.
Step 9: Join SV.
Here, l || m and OS = 5 cm.
