Question

Steps for the construction of a rhombus of diagonals 6.4 cm and 5.2 cm are given below.

Choose the correct order.

1. Draw a line segment AC = 5.2 cm

2.Join points A, B; points B, C; points C, D and points A, D.

3. With O as centre and radius equal to half of BD(3.2 cm) draw arcs on either side of AC on the perpendicular bisector. Let them intersect at B and D.

4.Draw perpendicular bisector of AC. Let it intersect AC at O.

• A. 1,4,3,2
• B. 1,2,3,4
• C. 1,3,2,4
• D. 1,4,2,3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,4,3,2

The given rhombus ABCD can be drawn as follows:

1.Draw a line segment AC = 5.2 cm

2.Draw perpendicular bisector of AC. Let it intersect AC at O.

3.With O as centre and radius equal to half of BD(3.2 cm) draw arcs on either side of AC on the perpendicular bisector. Let them intersect at B and D.

4.Join points A, B; points B, C; points C, D and points A, D.


So, the correct order is 1,4,3,2.
