true!!
:
A rhombus is actually just a special type of parallelogram. Recall that in a parallelogram each pair of opposite sides are equal in length. With a rhombus, all four sides are the same length.It therefore has all the properties of a parallelogram.
:
If the diagonals formed anything but 90 degree angles it would only be a parallelogram because we would not have equal sides
