What are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a line through point X that
is parallel to line?
Drag the steps and drop them in order from start to finish.
Use the straightedge to draw XZ.
Place the point of the compass on point M and open it to width MN.
Without changing the width of the compass opening place the point of the compass on point
X and draw an arc that intersects line s. Label the intersection as point P
With the compass opening set to width MN
place the point of the compass on point P and
draw an arc that intersects the arc that was drawn from point X Label the intersection of the
arcs as point Z
Place the point of the compass on point Y and draw an arc that intersects lines and s. Label
the intersections as points M and N.
Use the straightedge to draw a line s that passes through X and intersects liner. Label the
