#### Question

Construct a rhombus with side 6 cm and one diagonal 8 cm. Measure the other diagonal.

#### Solution

$\text { Steps of construction: }$

$\text { Step 1: Draw AC = 8 cm } .$

$\text { Step 2: With A as the centre and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides } .$

$\text { Step 3: With C as the centre and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides, intersecting the previous arcs at points B and D }.$

$\text { Step 4: Join BD = 8 . 9cm }.$

$\text { Thus, ABCD is the required rhombus } .$

Is there an error in this question or solution?
