  1. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Given a line PQ with point A outside it.

    2. Mark point B on the lie PQ join AB.

    3. Taking B as centre, and any radius, draw an arc intersecting PQ at E, and AB at D.

    4. With A as centre, and same radius before, draw an arc intersecting AB at F.

    5. Open compass to length DE.

    6. Now, with F as centre, and compass opened the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previous arc at H.

    7. Draw a line m passing through A and H.

    Thus m is parallel to PQ, and passing through point A.

    ∴m∣∣PQ.
