Construction Algorithm |
1 |
|
Construct
a line AC as a given diagonal of the rhombus. |
2 |
|
Construct
M as a midpoint of the diagonal AC. |
3 |
|
Construct
a perpendicular line to AC through the point M. |
4 |
|
Construct
a point B on the perpendicular line. |
5 |
|
Construct
a circle centered at M and has radius MB. |
6 |
|
Generate the
intersection points between the circle and the perpendicular line to
find the fourth vertex of the rhombus. |
7 |
|
Join up the
four points A, B, C, and D to get the required rhombus. |
8 |
|
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. |
