How To Construct Parallel Lines
Given line k and an exterior point P
Step 1:Draw an arbitrary line
through point P, intersecting
line k. Call the intersection
point Q.

Step 2:Center the compass at point Q and
draw an arc intersecting both lines. Without
changing the radius of the compass, center it
at point P and draw another arc
k
Q
Step 3:Set the compass radius to the distance
between the two intersection points of the
first arc. Now center the compass at the point
where the second arc intersects line PQ. Mark
the arc intersection point R.

Finally, join point P with the point R.
