Let’s draw a rhombus HOME where and

Given that,

∠HOM = 60° and HO = 6 cm

To do: Draw a rhombus HOME.

Materials required: ruler, compass, pencil and a sheet of paper.

Steps:

Note that, a rhombus is a simple quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length.

1. Draw a line HO = 6 cm using a ruler and a pencil on s sheet of paper.

2. Now, let us draw angle 90° at vertex O, so that ∠HOM = 60°. Keep one end of the compass at O and draw an arc or circle of the radius, say, 2 cm. Let it cut the line HO at P.

3. Keep one end of the compass at point P and draw an arc or circle of the same radius cutting the previous arc at Q.

4. Join OQ and extend the line to M, such that OM = 6 cm.

5. Now, using a ruler draw a straight line ME = 6 cm.

6. Now, join EH.

Note that, the opposite angles are equal in a rhombus.

Thus, we have got the rhombus HOME.
