\r\n" );
document.write( "All four sides of a rhombus are equal.  AB = 2 in. = BC = CD = DA \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Begin by drawing CD 2 inches long:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "With your protractor, carefully measure an angle at C, which is angle BCD \r\n" );
document.write( "which is 55°, and draw CB exactly 2 inches long.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The angle at B must be supplementary to the angle at C, which is 55°.\r\n" );
document.write( "So we subtract 180°-55° = 125°. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So with your protractor, carefully measure an angle at D, which is angle\r\n" );
document.write( "ABC = 125°, and draw BA exactly 2 inches long.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Finally draw AD, and you're done:\r\n" );
