Question

To construct rhombus ABCD given CD =5 cm and diagonal BD =8.5 cm, which of the properties of rhombus do we use?

• A. Diagonals bisect each other.
• B. All sides of a rhombus are equal.
• C. Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
• D. Opposite angles are equal.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

All sides of a rhombus are equal.

To construct the rhombus ABCD follow the given steps.

(1)Draw BD=8.5 cm

(2)With B as the centre and 5 cm radius cut arcs above and below BD.

(3)With C as centre and 5 cm radius cut previous arc at C and A

(4)Join BC,BA, CD and AD

(5)We have drawn the rhombus using the property all sides of a rhombus are equal.

Hence (B)
