You do it. Can't do it here online. Sheesh. Now, if you want a description of the technique,
Pick a point P
with center at P, draw a circle with radius XY
Pick any point R on the circle
Draw the line PR, extended to intersect the circle at S.
Since PR + RS = XY + XY, RS = 2XY

Rats. Make that
Draw the line RP extended to S.
RP + PS = XY + XY
Draw the line RP extended to S.
RP + PS = XY + XY
