Q2 of 805 Page 4

A rhombus whose diagonals are 5.2 cm and 6.4 cm long.

Note: A rhombus is a special square where diagonals bisect each other perpendicularly.


A rough diagram for rhombus is given.



Step 1:


Draw the base for the diagram by using one of the measurements of 5.2 cm.



Step 2: Using point A and C, we will draw perpendicular bisector and let it intersect on the given line segment at point O.



Step 3: Taking point O as a center we draw arcs on the line EOD taking 3.2 as radius and intersect it.


[Since we have seen in the figure diagonals bisect each other at point O. So, BO= 3.2 cm= OD. ]



Step 4: Join B, BC, CD and AD.
