Constructing Parallel Lines (using a straightedge and compass)


Did you know that we can draw parallel lines using just a straightedge and a compass (without a set square)? In that case, we say that we construct parallel lines.
To learn how to do it, watch this video.
1st part of the video:
For given line a we construct line b which is parallel to the line a.
2nd part:
For given line c and external point T, we construct line d which goes through point T and is parallel to line c.
