Steps :

(i) Drawn a line segment FA = 6 cm.

(ii) With F and A as centres, drawn arcs of radii 8 cm and 6 cm respectively and let them cut at C.

(iii) Joined FC and AC.

(iv) With F and C as centres, drawn arcs of radius 6 cm each and let them cut at E. Joined FE and EC.

(v) FACE is the required rhombus.

Calculation of Area :

Area of the rhombus = 12 × d1 × d2 sq.units = 12 × 8 × 9 sq.units = 36 cm²
