Answer
We know that,
Sum of consecutive angles of rhombus = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠B = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠B = 60°
Steps of construction:
Draw a line segment AB = 4.8 cm.
At A, construct an angle ∠XAB = 120°.
From XA, cut off AD = 4.8 cm.
Through D, draw DY parallel to AB.
At B, construct an angle ∠ZBA = 60°, intersecting XY at C.
Join C and D.

Hence, ABCD is the required rhombus.
