Steps of Construction
1. Draw a line AB. Take a point C outside it. Take any point D on AB and join C to D.
2. With D as centre and a convenient radius, draw an arc cutting AB at F and CD at E.
3. Now with C as centre and the same radius as in step 2, draw an arc GH cutting CD at I.
4. Place the pointed tip of the compasses at F and adjust the opening so that the pencil tip is at E.
5. With the same opening as in step 4 and with I as centre, draw an arc cutting the are GH at J.
6. Now Join CJ to draw a line ‘KL’. KL is the required parallel line.
