Constructing Parallel Lines with the Rhombus Method

What is the primary goal when using the rhombus method to construct parallel lines?

• To form a triangle with equal angles

• To construct a quadrilateral with four equal sides

• To create a quadrilateral with two equal sides

• To draw two intersecting lines

Why is it important not to change the length of the compass during the construction?

• To ensure the arcs are drawn at different lengths

• To maintain the equal side lengths of the rhombus

• To create a larger rhombus

• To draw circles instead of arcs

What is the significance of point C in the rhombus construction?

• It is the starting point of the construction

• It represents the third point of the rhombus

• It is the midpoint of the rhombus

• It is the endpoint of the compass

How is the final point D determined in the rhombus construction?

• By drawing a perpendicular line from point B

• By measuring the distance between points A and B

• By swinging an arc from point C to intersect the original arc

• By drawing a straight line from point A

What conclusion can be drawn once the line connecting points B and D is constructed?

• Line B-D is perpendicular to line L

• Line B-D intersects line L

• Line B-D is shorter than line L

• Line B-D is parallel to line L
