Given that point Q does not lie on AB, construct the line through point Q that is parallel to AB. A carpenter drops a plumb line from point A to BC. Assuming that BC is horizontal, the point D at which the plumb line intersects BC will determine the vertical line seg- ment AD. Use a construction to locate point D. D
