Answer the question.Explain how to construct a line through a point P parallel to a line l using the rhombus method.

What will be an ideal response?


Draw any line through P that intersects l at point A. A and P are vertices of the rhombus. Draw an arc with the pointer of the compass at A and with radius  that intersects l at X. X is the third vertex of the rhombus. Using the same opening of the compass, draw intersecting arcs, one with the pointer at P, the other with the pointer at X. The intersection of the two arcs, Y, is the fourth vertex of the rhombus.   is parallel to l.
