constructing parallel lines through a given point - geometry

In this video, I show how to use a compass to construct parallel lines through a given point. The techniques used in this video are similar to the copying an angle construction.

Outside of this computer software, this is my favorite type of compass to use:

I like that you get straight to the point, really helps out

Thanks this helps with my geometry hw since our notebooks are absolutely horrendous

You got straight to the point just after starting the video. I really liked that, many youtubers tells to subscribe and like at first, but you didn't do that. Well done. It really helped me a lot.👍👍

Hi Mr. V, so i’m doing regents prep is coming up in my geometry class as of now.I just have a question so after we make the arc above the dot like for example in your example.P we measure arch distance to make the other arc but we switch where we put the needle and we put the marker instead so we can show the proof that we measured the arc? and also just a general question so like I always wanted to come with geometry teacher because I find the field very interesting and I really like the conception and how you applied them to real life principles, especially when my class did the formulas of shapes and when we did two optometry so if you were to recommend somebody to become a geometry teacher, what advice would you give them even though I know, I think you can’t specifically become a geometry teacher, but somebody who wants to specialize in that or math just in general?

thank. I like the fact that you go straight to the point. please i need explanation on networks

Does any one know the name of the app that he is using in the video?

So I need 2 parallel lines the same length to rest my chicken coop on bricks outside, larger scale, don’t have compass. Can I make a sq and then measure diagonals?

this guy is really on point.
he really has his priorities straight.

great video, but for school i have to construct 3 parallel lines, and I am just wondering how to construct that

My teacher took 20 minutes to explain this and never did it again. No offense to him but this is much more helpful
