In this exercise you are given a line \(AB\) and a point \(X\) not on the line. Your task is to construct a line through \(X\) which is parallel to \(AB\).
You will find the transferring an angle exercise very useful.
The diagram contains an example of a point \(C\) not on the line \(AB\) such that the orange line through \(C\) is parallel to \(AB\)
Hint. This exercise is explained in Euclid Book I, Proposition 31.
