MY QUESTION IS FROM THE NCERT BOOK CLASS 8. CHAPTER - PRACTICAL GEOMETRY ,

EX.4.2 QS- 3
3)Rhombus BEND
BN = 5.6 cm
DE = 6.5 cm

Answer 1

Rhombus BEND

BN = 5.6 cm

DE = 6.5 cm

Construction:

(Note: The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at the right angle)

Step I: Draw BN = 5.6 cm.

Step II: Draw the right bisector of BN at O.

Step III: Draw two arcs with centre O and radius 1/2 × DE, i.e., 1/2 × 6.5 = 3.25 cm to meet the right bisector at D and E.

Step IV: Join BE, EN, ND and BD.

Thus, BEND is the required rhombus.
