It was very hard to convey the procedure across. However I have tried my best with figures, colours and explanations. It took quite a bit of effort to do so.

Please find your solution in the attachment.

Hope this helped.

(A) A RHOMBUS GIVEN: ONE SIDE AND ONE ANGLE

Draw the side first.

With the angle given, mark a point above that line with your compass by placing the stationary point of the compass at one end the end of the line.

Since, in a RHOMBUS, sum of the angles adjacent sides = 180, ...
