Answer:

The given construction is illustrating parallel lines.

Explanation:

In the given figure ,

1) Let it be Δ ABC with base BC.

2) Mark point D on side AB.

3) Taking B as point to draw an angle and with same measurement draw an arc at point D.

4) Extend D to join AC at point E such that ∠ ADE = ∠ABC

these are corresponding angles .

Therefore, DE ║ BC

We obtained a line DE parallel to BC.

Thus, the given construction is illustrating parallel lines.
