WILL AWARD MEDAL/FAN! How do you construct a rhombus by using only a ruler? Thanks for your help!~

geerky42 (geerky42):

Only a ruler? So no compass?

OpenStudy (lilai3):

That's all the problem said, so I assume so.

OpenStudy (lilai3):

or a double-edged straightedge, but I'm not really sure what that is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Draw x cm on both sides of the ruler, then rotate the ruler a bit and do the same. You'll end up with 2 sets of parallel lines that intersect giving a rhombus in the middle

OpenStudy (lilai3):

I can't really picture what you are saying....example? :)

OpenStudy (lilai3):

@tom982 how do you rotate it? to the left or right?
