Best Answer

The purpose for this question determines the which of the three answers is most accurate.

1. A rhombus is defined as "four-sided shape [quadrilateral] where all sides have equal length. Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal. ... " As such, a "traditional" rhombus would look like a square that is "leaning" to one side or another. This particular rhombus would have NO right angles.

2. A third portion of the definition above is " the diagonals [lines that connect two opposite angles] of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles." So, the point of intersection of the diagonals produces four right angles for purposes that are beyond the scope of this question and answer.

3. Based on the definitions of a quadrilateral and rhombus, a square is, therefore, a rhombus. As a result, a rhombus that is a square has FOUR right angles in its shape and four right angles at the point of intersection of its diagonals.
