This example demonstrates the properties of a rhombus. Key mathematical concepts include: diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other, opposite sides are parallel and equal, and opposite angles are equal. Using GeoGebra commands such as Line, Circle, Point, Intersect, Polygon, Segment, etc., a rhombus can be constructed and its properties observed. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric construction.
