Question

Construct a rhombus ABCD, when:
One side = 5.0 cm and height = 2.6 cm.

Answer 1

Steps:
1. Draw AB = 5 cm.
2. At B, draw BP ⊥ AB.
3. From BP, cut BE = 2.6 cm = height.
4. Through E draw a perpendicular to CP to get QR parallel to AB.

With A and B as a centre and radii 5 cm draw arcs cutting QR at D andC.

ABCD is the required rhombus.
