Question 2
Construct the rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm.

Answer 1

Given Diagonal of a rhombus AC=5.2 cm and BD= 6.4 cm.

To construct: A rhombus ABCD.

Steps of construction:

(a) Draw AC=5.2 cm and draw perpendicular bisectors on AC.

(b) Since , diagonals bisects at mid-point O, therefore get half of 6.4 cm , it. 3.2 cm.

(c) Draw two arcs on both sides of AC of radius 3.2 cm from intersection point O, which intersects at B and D.

(d) Join AB, BC, CD, DA.

It is required rhombus ABCD.
