Question
B. Constructing a parallel through a point (rhombus method)
Given: PQ and point K
Steps:
1. Flace the compasses on point K and set its width to a little more than the distance to the PQ.
The exact distance is not important.
2. Draw a wide arc from the right of K around so it crosses the PQat two points. Label the left point
J.
3. Without adjusting the opening of the compass, move the compass to J and draw an arc across
the PQ Label this point E.
4. Without adjusting the span of the compass, move the compass to E and draw an arc across the
large arc to the right of K. Label this point S.
5. Draw a straight line through points K and S.
6. Done. The KS is parallel to the PQ.
