Question
Construct a rhombus ABCD in which AB = 4cm and diagonal AC is 6.5cm.

Answer


Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw AB = 4cm.
Step 2: With B as the centre, draw an arc of 4cm.
Step 3: With A as the centre, draw another arc of 6.5cm, cutting the previous arc at C.
​Step 4: Join AC and BC.
Step 5: With C as the centre, draw an arc of 4cm.
Step 6: ​With A as the centre, draw another arc of 4cm, cutting the previous arc at D.
Step 7: Join AD and CD.
ABCD is the required rhombus.
