Complete the construction of rhombus — task. Maths CBSE Live product, Class 8 (2026-27).

Construct a rhombus \(PQRS\) whose diagonals are \(PR = 6\text{ cm}\) and \(QS = 4\text{ cm}\). The first step taken is drawing the horizontal diagonal \(PR = 6\text{ cm}\) and finding its midpoint \(O\)

What is the correct next geometric step to determine vertices \(Q\) and \(S\)?

Draw the perpendicular bisector of line segment \(PR\) through point \(O\), then cut arcs of radius \(2\text{ cm}\) both above and below point \(O\) on this perpendicular line.
Set the compass radius to \(4\text{ cm}\) and draw intersecting arcs directly from vertex \(P\) and vertex \(R\).
Use a protractor to draw a \(60^\circ\) angle at point \(O\).
Draw a line parallel to \(PR\) at a distance of \(4\text{ cm}\) above it.
