Q3 of 11 Page 13

Draw a line m. Draw a line n which is parallel to line m at a distance of 4 cm from it.

Method : Draw a line parallel to line l at a distance 4 cm.


Steps of construction :


(1) Draw line l.


(2) Take two points A and B on the line l.


(3) Draw perpendiculars to the line l from points A and B.


(4) On the perpendicular lines take points P and Q at a distance of 4cm from


A and B respectively.


(5) Draw line PQ.


(6) Line PQ is a line parallel to the line l at a distance 4cm.
