Constructing Parallel Lines
Constructing parallel lines
1. Construct line BC.
2. Make a new point D on segment AB.
3. Construct circle (1) centered at point A through point D.
4. Find the intersection of circle (1) with line AB, point E.
5. Construct line segment ED.
6. Construct circle (2) centered at point C with a radius the same length of segment AD.
7. Find the intersection of circle (2) with line BC, point F.
8. Construct circle (3) centered at point F with a radius the same length of segment ED.
9. Find the intersection of circle (2) with circle (3), point G.
10. Construct line CG.
