To construct: A lineparallel to given line by using ruler and compass.
Steps of construction:

Make equal angle at point P such that Q=P.
Extend line at P to get line m.
Similarly, taking a point R on line m, at point R, draw angles such that P=R.
The extended line at R which intersects at S on line l, Draw line RS. Thus, we get a parallelogram PQRS.

Thus, we see that if two sides of a triangle are given and the measure of the angle between these two sides is also given, then we can construct a triangle. This is known as SAS criterion for construction of triangles.
Question 17. Which of the triangles whose three sides are given below can be constructed?
(a) 9 m, 5 m, 3 m
(b) 10 cm, 10 cm, 4 cm  [4 MARKS]

:
Each part: 2 Marks
(a) Adding up the sides, taking two at a time, we get
9 m + 5 m = 14 m > 3 m
9 m + 3 m = 12 m > 5 m
but, 5 m + 3 m = 8 m < 9 m
So we see that the sum of one pair of sides when added is not greater than the third side.
Therefore, we cannot draw a triangle with these measurements.
(b) Adding up the sides, taking two at a time, we get
10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm > 4 cm
10 cm + 4 cm = 14 cm > 10 cm
4 cm + 10 cm = 14 cm > 10 cm
So in each case, the sum of two sides is greater than the third side.
Hence, this triangle can be constructed.

Thus, we see that if two angles of a triangle and the side included between the two are given, then we can draw a triangle. This is known as ASA criterion of construction of triangles.
Question 19. Goutham has been asked to draw a triangle with three lengths given to him. He hasn't checked the given lengths and promised that he will draw the triangle thinking that a triangle can always be constructed with any three lengths. Is it true that a triangle can always be constructed with any three lengths?
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    3 and 1
  4.    0 and 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Thetriangle inequalitystates that for anytriangle, the sum of the lengths of any two of its sides must be greater than the length of the third side. ​We, thus, cannotconstruct a triangle with anythree lengths.
