[00:00:02]constructing a rhombus so let's start with the line segment and T okay step one place compass a and open to the width of a be draw an arc above a bee okay so please come this at a and open to the width of a be drawn our cup of a bee step to label any white [Music] the or as si using the same width place the compass at scene and draw an arc to the right of C okay so my compass is set to the width of a B I just drew an arc above a and I can label any point on this arc as C so pick pick any place you like pick a point call it C and I'm gonna place my compass on C and then just draw an arc to the right of C over here okay so now step three without adjusting place compass at B and draw an arc to intersect the previous art only will the intersection D [Music] connect hey see see D and B D using your straight edge okay so step three without adjusting so this whole time ever since we first started when we measured a B we haven't adjusted our compass so step three we're gonna place our compass at B and draw an arc to intersect the previous arc and we're gonna label the intersection D so if your compass accidentally move because it's loose you can always go back and make sure it's still open to the little baby so place your cup zombie draw an arc here to intersect the previous arc I'm going to label that intersection D let me do that just show you maybe it's out of you okay so I just drew my arc here and label to intersection do you now when I get my straight edge and connect AC see you and be date and that's it since all the sides are congruent quadrilateral a CBD is a rhombus
