Question

Construct a rhombus CLUE in which CL = 7.5 cm and LE = 6 cm.

Sum

Solution

We know that, all sides of a rhombus are equal and opposite sides are parallel to each other.


Steps of construction:

Step I: Draw a line segment CL = 7.5 cm.

Step II: With C as a centre, draw an arc CE = 7.5 cm.

Step III: With L as a centre, draw an another arc LU = 7.5 cm.

Step IV: Now, with centre L, draw an arc LE = 6 cm, that is cut-off previous arc CE.

Step V: With E as a centre, draw an arc UE = 7.5 cm, that is cut-off previous arc LU.

Step VI: Now join UL, CE and EU.

Hence, CLUE is a required rhombus.
