Draw the following.
A rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm long
We know that, in a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at 90o
A rough sketch of this rhombus:
(a) Draw a line segment AC of 5.2 cm and its perpendicular bisector. Let it intersect the line segment AC at point O
(b) Draw arcs of = 3.2 cm on both sides of this perpendicular bisector
Let these arcs intersect the perpendicular bisector at point B and D
(c) Join points B and D with points A and C
ABCD is the required rhombus
