B. Constructing a parallel through a point (rhombus method)Given: PQ and point KSteps:1. Flace the compasses on point K and set its width to a little more than the distance to the PQ.The exact distance is not important.2. Draw a wide arc from the right of K around so it crosses the PQat two points. Label the left pointJ.3. Without adjusting the opening of the compass, move the compass to J and draw an arc acrossthe PQ Label this point E.4. Without adjusting the span of the compass, move the compass to E and draw an arc across thelarge arc to the right of K. Label this point S.5. Draw a straight line through points K and S.6. Done. The KS is parallel to the PQ.
