Try some yourself

Using the properties of the diagonals and the tools below, can you construct a parallelogram from its diagonals?

(Hint: Draw one of the diagonals, then bisect it by selecting the line bisector tool and left-clicking on the end points of the diagonal. Now how can you draw in the second diagonal with the same midpoint?)

Try constructing a square, a rectangle, a rhombus and a kite from their diagonals.
