Construct a rhombus PQRS in which the diagonals are 8cm and 6cm.Measure the side PQ and record it. |
|
Answer» ONG>Answer: We know that, sides of rhombus are equal. So, PQ=QR=RS=PS=6cm ⇒ Draw a LINE segment PQ=6cm ⇒ Take P as center with radius 8cm and draw an arc. ⇒ Take Q as center with radius 6cm and draw an arc, which meets previous arc at point R. ⇒ Take P as center with radius 6cm and draw an arc. ⇒ Take R as center with radius 6cm and draw an arc, which meets previous arc at point S. ⇒ Join QR,RS,SP,PR and QS ∴ PQRS is a required rhombus. ⇒ MEASURE the length of QS. We get QS=8.9cm |
