Question:
Construct a rhombus with side 6 cm and one diagonal 8 cm. Measure the other diagonal.
Solution:
Steps of construction :
Step 1: Draw $\mathrm{AC}=8 \mathrm{~cm} .$
Step 2: With $\mathrm{A}$ as the centre and radius $=6 \mathrm{~cm}$, draw arcs on both sides.
Step 3: With $\mathrm{C}$ as the centre and radius $=6 \mathrm{~cm}$, draw arcs on both sides, intersecting the previous arcs at points B and D.
Step 4: Join $\mathrm{BD}=8.9 \mathrm{~cm} .$
Thus, $\mathrm{ABCD}$ is the required rhombus.
