As a text-based AI, I can’t create visual sketches directly, but I can guide you on how to do it step-by-step.

  1. Draw Triangle GHI:

    • Start by drawing a triangle. Label the vertices as G, H, and I.
    • Make sure the triangle is big enough to fit a line inside it.
  2. Identify the sides:

    • Identify which side you want to use for the parallel line. In this case, you will use GH.
  3. Sketch Line JK Parallel to GH:

    • Decide where you want to place line JK so that it runs parallel to GH.
    • Draw a line from point J on side GI and extend it to point K on side HI.
  4. Ensure Parallelism:

    • Use a ruler to ensure that JK remains parallel to GH by checking that corresponding angles (if you think of it that way) are equal.
  5. Label the Points:

    • Mark the points J and K clearly on the sketch.

You should now have triangle GHI with a line JK drawn inside it, parallel to GH, meeting sides GI at J and HI at K.
