1. **Problem Statement:** Determine if the given parallelogram is a rhombus, rectangle, or square based on the properties of its diagonals.
2. **Key Properties of Parallelograms:**
- A **rhombus** has all sides equal and diagonals that are perpendicular.
- A **rectangle** has diagonals that are congruent (equal in length) but not necessarily perpendicular.
- A **square** is both a rhombus and a rectangle, meaning it has equal sides and diagonals that are both congruent and perpendicular.
3. **Given Information:**
- The parallelogram has diagonals that intersect at right angles (perpendicular).
- The sides are marked equal (indicated by red "x" marks).
4. **Analysis:**
- Since the diagonals are perpendicular, this suggests the parallelogram could be a rhombus or a square.
- Since all sides are equal, this confirms the shape is at least a rhombus.
- The right angle where diagonals intersect and equal sides imply the parallelogram is a square because it satisfies both rhombus and rectangle properties.
5. **Conclusion:**
- The parallelogram is a square.
6. **Reasoning:**
- The diagonals are perpendicular (property of rhombus).
- The diagonals are congruent (property of rectangle).
- The parallelogram has equal sides.
- Therefore, it is both a rhombus and a rectangle, which defines a square.
**Final answer:** The parallelogram is a square because it has equal sides and diagonals that are both perpendicular and congruent.
