construct a rhombus PQRS in which PR = 7cm QS = 5cm
Answers
Answer:
The side of rhombus is approximately equal to √18.5≈4.3011.
Solution:
it is possible to construct the rhombus PQRS
where
PR = 7 cm
QS = 5 cm
Procedure to draw:
1) Draw the line PR of length 7 cm.
2) Draw the perpendicular Bisector of line PR.
3) Considering the origin the point of intersect of lines, draw the Arcs of length 2.5 cm and name the points Q and S where the Arcs insect the bisector of line PR
4) Joint the point P with Q and S.
5) Joint the point R with Q and S.
The rhombus is ready which has four equal sides and each side has length √(18.5)
Because by using Pythagoras theorem
square of side of rhombus = square of (7/2) + square of (5/2)
=49/4 + 25/4=74/4=18.5
square of side of rhombus=18.5
See the graph of rhombus.
taking under root on both sides we get
side rhombus=√18.5 ≈ 4.3011
so the side of rhombus is approximately equal to 4.3011
