Follow these steps to construct parallel lines

1) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point H anywhere on segment FB (Hint: FH must be shorter than FG) 2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius FH and center point F 3) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point I at the intersection of circle F and segment FG 4) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius FH and center point G 5) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point J at the intersection of circle G and segment GC 6) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius HI and center point J 7) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from G to the intersection of circles G and J
