Construction Algorithm |
1 |
|
Construct
a point M as a center of the rhombus. |
2 |
|
Construct
a point A on the construction area that is next to the point M. |
3 |
|
Construct
the line that connects the two points A and M. |
4 |
|
Construct
a circle centered at M and has a radius AM. |
5 |
|
Generate
the intersection point between the line AM and the constructed circle
at C. |
6 |
|
Construct a
perpendicular line to the line AC through the point M. |
7 |
|
Add a point B
on the perpendicular line. |
8 |
|
Construct a
circle centered at M and has a radius BM. |
9 |
|
Generate the intersection point D between the perpendicular line and the second circle. |
10 |
|
Join up the
four points A, B, C, and D to get the required rhombus. |

|
Switch to
Move Mode. Pick a free element. Move it around to check your
construction. |
Construction Theorem |
The two diagonals of a
rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other. |
