Sometimes it becomes necessary to do an elementary business, and it turns out that we do not know how to do it. For example - how to draw a rhombus. In fact, everything is very simple.
In this article you will learn how to draw a rhombus correctly, and what kind of geometric shape it is.
What is a rhombus?
A rhombus is a kind of parallelogram, a feature of which is that the opposite sides of this figure are parallel to each other, and in a rhombus they are also equal to each other. The fact that the opposite angles are equal indicates the definition of a rhombus to the general form of a parallelogram.
How to draw a rhombus
You can draw a figure like a rhombus in several ways. In this article, we will look at two simple ways.
For the first method, we will need: a pen or pencil, an eraser, a sheet of paper from a school notebook, a ruler or any direct object similar to it, if the exact dimensions of the diamond are not important.
- So, for starters, draw a point on one of the intersections of cell lines. Better, of course, to place the point not too close to the edges. Determine the size of the figure.
- Next, from the midpoint, count the required number of cells to the left (or right) and put another point. On the opposite side, through the same number of cells, draw the third point. Now do the same thing up and down. The sequence does not matter, the main thing here is to count the same distance from the midpoint left and right and separately up and down. That is, if four cells were counted to the right, and six cells up, respectively, four cells to the left, six cells down.
- We connect with a ruler or any other suitable object all the points among themselves, except the middle. You can erase the midpoint with an eraser if you used a pencil. The rhombus is ready.
The second method is similar to the first, but we will draw on clean paper without cells. For this we need: a pencil and / or pen, an eraser, a blank sheet, a ruler and a square (or any object with a right angle).
- Determine the size. Draw a point.
- We take a ruler, put a point at the required distance from the midpoint on the left side. Connect them with a pencil so that the line passes through the midpoint. We perform similar actions in the opposite direction.
- We also draw a point from above and below, but we already use a square so that the line between the upper and lower points is perpendicular to the line between the left and right.
- We connect all the points together. Erase the line in the middle of the shape with the eraser.
