For the construction of a rhombus as in *sūtra* (*Bśl.* 2.8), let the rectangle *ABCD* be so constructed that its area is double that of the given rectangle. Let *E*, *F*, *G*, *H* be the middle points of *AB*, *BC*, *CD* and *DA* respectively. Join *EF*, *FG*, *GH* and *HE* to produce the required rhombus *EFGH* (Fig. 23).
