Interpretation: A rhombus is a parallelogram whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

A straight-line l is drawn, a point is chosen on l and is labelled as A. The compass is set for radius a. Using A as the center, an arc is drawn intersecting the line l. The point of intersection is labelled as C. Thus, a straight-line AC is constructed having length of a.

Using any radius of length greater than 12AC , four arcs of equal radii are drawn, out of four such arcs, two are with the center A and other two are with the center C. The points of intersections of these arcs are labelled as X and Y. Then, the line XY is drawn. Thus, perpendicular bisector of AC is constructed at the point O.

Now, the compass is set for radius 12b . Using O as the center, two arcs are drawn intersecting the line XY. The points of intersection are labelled as B and D. BD is drawn.

Thus, a rhombus ABCD is constructed with diagonal of lengths a and b.
