Constructing a Parallel line through a point not on the line

Here you will learn to construct a line parallel to our given line through a point that is not on the line. Use your compass and straightedge and if you get lost you can click the boxes to see each step. [br][br]make sure to measure and confirm that you truly have created parallel lines[br][br]written steps:[br]0) Construct Ray AC[br]1) Construct circle centered at point A with radius AB, mark the intersection of the circle with ray AC, call it point D[br]2) Copy circle with radius AB and center it at point C, mark the intersection of the circle with ray AC, call it point F[br]3)Construct a circle centered at point B with radius BD[br]4) Copy circle with radius BD and center it at point F. [br]5) Find the intersection of the circles centered at point F and point C. mark the intersections as point H[br]6) construct ray CH[br][br]Measure <HCF and <BAD to ensure the angles are the same proving the two rays are parallel[br]
