Steps :
(i) Draw a line l .
(ii) Take a point M on it.
(iii) Draw an angle of 90° at M with l which is perpendicular to l at M.
(iv) With M as centre and radius 5.2 cm, draw an arc which intersects the above perpendicular at point P. MP is the required prependicular
(v) At P, draw an angle of 90° with PM and produce to make a line q. Line q is the required line parallel to line l.
