Solution
We know that, all sides of a rhombus are equal and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line segment CL = 7.5 cm.
Step II: With C as a centre, draw an arc CE = 7.5 cm.
Step III: With L as a centre, draw an another arc LU = 7.5 cm.
Step IV: Now, with centre L, draw an arc LE = 6 cm, that is cut-off previous arc CE.
Step V: With E as a centre, draw an arc UE = 7.5 cm, that is cut-off previous arc LU.
Step VI: Now join UL, CE and EU.
Hence, CLUE is a required rhombus.
