Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with equal-length sides, so each diagonal divides the figure into two isosceles triangles. The altitude of each triangle is both an angle bisector and part of the other diagonal. Hence the diagonals meet at right angles.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all right angles. Each diagonal divides the figure into congruent triangles, which are also congruent with the triangles created by the other diagonal. The diagonals bisect each other, but do not necessarily meet at right angles or bisect any angles.

A square is a rhombus that is a rectangle. So all of the applicable characteristics of each apply to the square.
