(a) Use a ruler and compass (a piece of string attached to a pencil is fine) to help you draw a triangle that has one side of length 5 inches, one side of length 3.5 inches, and one side of length 4 inches. Explain why your method of construction must produce a triangle with the required side lengths. (b) Create two different rhombuses, both of which have 4 sides of length 4 inches. You may create your rhombuses by drawing, by folding and cutting paper, or by fastening objects together. In each case, explain how you know your shape really is a rhombus. You should include a picture of your rhombuses when you upload your work to Gradescope, if you haven't drawn them with your other work.
