Construction Algorithm |
1 |
 |
Construct
a line AB as a given base of the rhombus. |
2 |
 |
Construct
the line BC so that AB = BC. |
3 |
 |
Construct
the diagonal AC. |
4 |
 |
The
reflection button is already generated in the construction area. |
5 |
 |
Construct the
image of the elements B, a, b by reflection on AC by selecting the
point B and the two lines a and b then click on the reflection button
defined in step 4. |
6 |
 |
Join up the four points A, B, C and D to get the required rhombus.
|
7 |
 |
Switch
to drag mode. Pick a free element. Move it around to check your
construction. |
Construction Theorems
|
A rhombus is a quadrilateral
with four equal sides.
Reflection preserves the distance between points.
