Today I am going to teach you through a
new concept
I am going to tell you about a special type

The game is each group has to form a figure.

Students try to draw

that figure

The first group was on the stage.

They formed a figure by two members
standing opposite to the other two. In such a
manner that one member faces the other
and by each member joining hands with

response

How did you find out?

The length of the

diagonals of a
square is same but
in the case of
rhombus, its length
of the diagonal is
not same.

Review
What is the difference between square and
rhombus?

Sides are equal but

the length of the
diagonal of a square
is same but length
of the diagonal of a
rhombus is not
same.

given below.

Square
