ABCD is the required rhombus.

2. Given that : For a quadrilateral ABCD, AB = 6 cm,
BC = 9 cm, A = 75°, B = 150°, C = 140°.
Here, A + B + C = 75° + 150° + 140°
= 365° > 360°
Since, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°, but
in this case sum of three angles exceeds 360°.
Hence, It is not possible to construct a quadrilateral
with these measurements.
