Parallel Line Construction

This applet walks through the ruler and compass construction of a line through a given point C, parallel to a given line AB.
Drag the Steps slider to see the steps of the construction. The construction assumes that the user has already worked through the construction of a line perpendicular to a given line.
Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and active in your browser (Click here to install Java now)
The two points, A and B, which define the line, and the given point C, can be moved to new positions by dragging.
