Construct a rhombus with side 6 cm and one diagonal 8 cm. Measure the other diagonal.

Steps of construction:


Step 1: Draw AC = 8 cm.



Step 2: With A as the centre and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides.


Step 3: With C as the center and radius = 6 cm, draw arcs on both sides, intersecting the previous arcs at points B and D respectively.



Step 4: Join AB, BC, CD, DA and BD = 8.9cm.



Thus, ABCD is the required rhombus.
