To set out a parallel from a given inaccessible point to a given line AB, the following observations
are made:
Distance AB and angle PAM = a and angle PBA = b are measured where M is a point on the
line BA produced. The perpendicular to the desired parallel line from A and B are:
(A) AB/(cot b - cot a)
(B) AB/(cos b - cos a)
(C) AB/(cot a - cot b)
(D) AB/(cot a - cos b)
are made:
