उत्तर
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw AC= 6 cm.
(ii) With A as centre, draw two arcs of 5 cm on both sides of line AC.
(iii) With C as centre, draw two arcs of 5 cm on both sides of line AC.
(iv) All the arcs meet at Band D. Join AB, AD, BC and BD. ABCD is the required rhombus.
(v) On measuring, ∠ ABC = 78>.
(vi) Draw perpendicular bisector of BC meeting AD at R. R is the pdnt equidistant from Band C, hence RB = RC.
(vii) On measuring, R = 1.2 cm
