Concept
Today I am going to teach the concept of constructing a rhombus using GeoGebra.

 A Rhombus is a flat shape with 4 equal straight sides.

Characteristics of rhombus

• All sides have equal length
• opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal
• The altitude is the distance at right angles to two sides.

Steps to create a rhombus using GeoGebra
1.   click on Geogebra icon to start the process



2. Draw two points A and B using the New Point tool




3. Draw the line segment AB using the Segment between.


4.  From A draw a circle through B using the Circle with Centre through a Point tool.


5. Choose a point C on the circle.


6. Draw line segment AC.


 7. Draw a circle around C going through point A.


8. Draw a circle around B going through point A.


9.  Label the intersection of circle C and B point D and draw line segment BD and CD.


10. Hide Circle constructions deselecting Show Object.
