How to construct a line parallel to a given line at a given distance?
|
| 1. |
| Start with the given line and determine the given distance.
|
|
| 2. |
| Mark two arbitrary points on the given line.
|
|
| 3. |
| Construct a circle, which has the given distance as its radius.
|
|
| 4. |
| Copy circle 3 two times, to points 2 (points 2 become the centers of these circles).
|
|
| 5. |
| Construct two lines perpendicular to the given line from each point 2 upwards. These lines must intersect circles 4.
|
|
| 6. |
| Draw the connecting line between the intersections of lines 5 and circles 4.
|
|
| 7. |
| Line 6 is the line to be constructed, it is parallel to the given line at the given distance.
