Solution

In rhombus all sides are equal.
1) Draw AC = 6cm.
2) With A as centre and radius 5cm, draw two arcs one above ac and the other below AC.
3) With C as centre and radius 5cm draw two acrs one above AC and the other below AC intersecting the arcs of Steps 2 in B and D respectively.
4) Join AB, BC, CD and AD.
5) ABCD is the required rhombus.
6) On measuring, AD = 5cm and DB = 8cm.
