When constructing parallel lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction? Measure the length of the original line and make an arc. Create a line that intersects the given line with your straightedge. Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs. Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the line.

    The second choice.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs.

    These arcs should be on the same side of the original line.

    You can then draw the parallel line with the straight edge just touching the top of each arc.
