Construction:

(i) Using a scale drawn a line segment PQ = 7.8 cm. Marked a point A on the line.

(ii) Placing the set square in such a way that the vertex of the right angle coincides with A and one of the edges of right angle lies along the line segment PQ. Mark a point B. Such that AB = 5 cm above the line PQ.

(iii) Placed the scale and the set square in such a way the set square is below PQ and one edge that form right angle with PQ. Placed the scale along the other edge of the right angle.

(iv) Holding the scale firmly and sliding the set square along the edge of the scale until the edge touches the point B. Drawn the line BC through B.

(v) Now the line BC is parallel to PQ i.e, BC || PQ.
