What is the construction for creating a perpendicular line to a point not on a line?

Back

To construct a perpendicular line to a point not on a line, use a compass to draw arcs from the point that intersect the line, then draw a line from the point through the intersection points.

What is the construction for creating a parallel line to a point not on a line?

Back

To construct a parallel line to a point not on a line, use a ruler and compass to replicate the distance from the point to the line at the new location.
