Question

Draw the following patterns, 

(a) 6 equal rhombuses:

(b) 3 equal rhombuses:

c. Two equal rhombuses on the sides of a square:

d. 4 equal rhombuses:

e. parallelograms on two sides of a rectangle of sides 6 cm and 3 cm.

Answer 1

(a) Draw a circle of radius 2 cm with centre O. Divide the centre of circle into angles of 60° each. These lines meet the circle at the points A, B, C, D, E and F. Draw arc of 2 cm from A and B to get G. In the same way find H, I, J, K, L. Draw needed part.

(b) Draw square of side 4 cm. Draw rhombuses with side 4 cm and angle 30° on top and bottom side of the square. Complete the figure.

(c) Angles around the point at which three rhombuses joined together is 120° each. Since one angle of the rhombus is 120°, another angle 60°. Draw three rhombuses with side 4 cm and angle 60°. Complete the figure.

(d) Draw a semicircle of radius 2 cm with centre O. Divide the centre of circle into angles of 45° each .These lines meet the circle at the point A, B, C, D and E. Draw arc of 2 cm from A and B to get F. In the same way find G, H and I. Complete the figure.

(e) Draw a rectangle of length 6 cm and breadth 3 cm. Draw two rhombuses on both side of the rectangle which makes angle 45° and 135° with length and breadth respectively.
