Question

Construct the following quadrilaterals.

Rhombus BEND

BN = 5.6 cm

DE = 6.5 cm

Answer 1

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus always bisect each other at 90º. Let us assume that these are intersecting each other at point O in this rhombus.

Hence, EO = OD = 3.25 cm

A rough sketch of this rhombus can be drawn as follows

1) Draw a line segment BN of 5.6 cm and also draw its perpendicular bisector. Let it intersect the line segment BN at point O.

2) Taking O as centre, draw arcs of 3.25 cm radius to intersect the perpendicular bisector at point D and E

3) Join points D and E to points B and N.

 

BEND is the required quadrilateral.
