GC-07 Construct A Parallel Line Through Given Point And Line Segment II

Here's another way to build a line parallel to given point and line:

Needed analogue tools:

• Dividers

• Pencil

• Straight Edge

• Eraser

---

Given:

• Line A-B

• Point C

Desired:

• Line D-E

1. Place a Point, d, conveniently on Line A-B.

2. Draw an arc with d-C radius, centered at d. Make sure it instersects Line A-B.

3. Mark that intersection as e.

4. Draw another arc (d-C radius), centered at Point C.

5. Using Point d as a center, construct an arc with a radius of e-C.

6. Arc 4 and 5 intersect eachother. Mark that as Point h.

7. Connect Point C and h to complete the Desired Line D-E.

Thus, you construct a Line (D-E) parallel to a given Line (A-B) and through a given Point (C).
