Draw a line l. Take a point A outside the line. Through point A draw a line parallel to line l.
Solution:
Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line l and take any point A outside the line.
  2. Place a set-square, such that one arm of the right angle passes through A and the other arm is on line l.
  3. Place the second set-square as shown in the figure such that the vertex of the right angle is at point A.
  4. Hold the two set-squares in place and draw a line parallel to line l through the edge of the second set-square. Name the line as m.
