Use a ruler and proatactor to draw A rhombus with a side that is 3 cm in length and an angle that measures 120° label outside links in angle measurements 
**Rhombus Construction Activity**

**Step-by-Step Instructions:**

1. **Use a Ruler and Protractor:**
   - First, gather your tools: a ruler and a protractor.
   - Begin by drawing one side of the rhombus, ensuring it is exactly 3 cm in length.

2. **Draw the Angles:**
   - With the protractor, measure an angle of 120° from one endpoint of the line you just drew. This will be one of the interior angles of the rhombus.
   - Draw the second side of the rhombus extending from this endpoint.

3. **Complete the Rhombus:**
   - From the other endpoint of the original line, use the protractor to measure and draw another line at an angle that will help complete the rhombus.
   - Continue measuring and connecting lines until all four sides of the rhombus are 3 cm each, and opposite angles are equal.

4. **Label the Measurements:**
   - Clearly label all side lengths and angle measurements for better understanding and verification. Each side should be labeled as 3 cm, and the angles should be 120° and 60°, respectively, in alternating order.

By following these steps, you will draw an accurate rhombus with sides of 3 cm and specific interior angles, helping enhance your understanding of geometric constructions.

**Graphical Illustration:**
If needed, a diagram can be provided that shows the step-by-step process visually, including angles and side lengths, to aid in comprehension.
