Question
Construct a rhombus with side 6 cm and one diagonal 8 cm. Measure the other diagonal.
Solution
\[\text { Steps of construction: } \]
\[\text { Step 1: Draw AC = 8 cm } . \]
\[\text { Step 2: With A as the centre and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides } . \]
\[\text { Step 3: With C as the centre and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides, intersecting the previous arcs at points B and D }. \]
\[\text { Step 4: Join BD = 8 . 9cm }. \]
\[\text { Thus, ABCD is the required rhombus } . \]
