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