Instructions:

  • Draw a straight line (m). Put a point on the line (point Q), then place a point off the line (point P). Draw a straight line through points Q and P.

  • Set the compass to about half the width of QP. Place the point of the compass on point Q and and draw an arc across both lines.
    Use the same compass width and repeat at point P.

  • Set the width of the compass to the width of the lower arc. Place the point of the compass on the point of intersection of the line QP and the lower arc, then draw an arc intersecting line m and the lower arc. Move the point of the compass to the point where the upper arc intersects line QP, and draw an arc that crosses the previous arc. Label the intersection of the arcs point S.

  • Draw a straight line through points P and S. This line is parallel to line m.
