Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line PQ.

2. Take any two points A and B on the line.

3. Construct ∠PBF = 90o and ∠QAE = 90°

4. With A as center and radius 3 cm cut AE at C.

5. With B as center and radius 3 cm cut BF at D.

6. Join CD and produce it on either side to get the required line parallel to AB and at a distance of 5 cm from it.
