Expert Answer:

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a triangle ABC of any measure.
2. Taking C as a center and a small radius draw an arc which cut CB and CA at P and Q respectively.
3. With same radius and centre A draw an arc which cut AC at R.
4. Measure the arc PQ using compass and cut the same arc length RS.
5. Join AS and extend to X.
6. AX is the required parallel line.
