Answer:

See below for the precise explanation.

See the attachments for a visual representation of each step.

Explanation:

Step 1

  • Mark two points A and B a certain width apart on the same horizontal axis.

Step 2

  • Place the point of the compass on point A.
  • Set the width of the compass to AB.
  • Draw circle A (ensuring it passes through point B).

Step 3

  • Do not change the width of the compass.
  • Place the point of the compass on point B.
  • Draw circle B (ensuring is passes through point A).

Step 4

  • Label the points of intersection of the two circles as points C and D.

Step 5

  • Use a straightedge to draw four straight line segments between points A and C, C and B, B and D, and D and A.

Answer:

see the steps below

Explanation:

You want to construct rhombus ACBD, given points A and B.

Steps

  1. Set the compass width to the distance between A and B
  2. Draw circle A with radius AB
  3. Draw circle B with radius AB
  4. Identify the points of intersection of the circles as points C and D.
  5. Using a straightedge, draw segment AC
  6. Using a straightedge, draw segment CB
  7. Using a straightedge, draw segment BD
  8. Using a straightedge, draw segment DA

Additional comment

A circle is identified by its center, so circle A has its center at point A.

Note that points A, C, B, D are listed in clockwise order.
