Question

construct a rhombus whose diagonals are 5 cm and 6.2 cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hint – we use the property of Diagonals of rhombus which bisect perpendicular to each other.

We can draw a rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm long by following the given procedure.

1. Draw a line segment AC = 5.2 cm.

2. Draw XY, the perpendicular bisector of AC.

3. From XY, cut-off OD = 12(6.4) = 3.2 cm.

4. Similarly, cut-off OB = 12(6.4)= 3.2 cm.

5. Join AD, DCCB and BA.

Thus, ABCD is the required rhombus.
