Solution

Given: Diagonal of rhombus ABCD is 8 cm and one side is 5 cm.

Steps of construction:
(1) Draw diagonal AC = 8 cm.

(2) Then, draw an arc taking A as centre and 5 cm as the radius one on each side of AC.

(3) Now, draw another arc with C as the centre and 5 cm as the radius, cutting the previous arc at B and D, respectively.

(4) Then, join AB, BC, CD and AD.

Thus, ABCD is the required rhombus.
On measuring the diagonal BD we get BD as 6 cm.
