To construct: A rhombus with diagonals of lengths a and b.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The figures,
Construction:
Interpretation: A rhombus is a parallelogram whose diagonals bisect each other at right
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
Now, the compass is set for radius
Thus, a rhombus ABCD is constructed with diagonal of lengths a and b.
