To answer this question, we need to know the properties of a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square. By the way, they have all the properties of a parallelogram. Then, we have (in this context):

1. Rhombus: they have four congruent sides.

2. Rectangles: they have four right angles.

3. Squares: they have four congruent sides and four right angles.

Having this information into account, we can say that:

First Case:

Figure FGHI has four right angles, and it is a parallelogram. In this case, we have a RECTANGLE. Notice that the four sides are not congruent (only have congruent angles.)

Second Case:

We have a parallelogram with four congruent sides. In this case, we have a RHOMBUS.

Third Case:

We also have four congruent sides. It is also a RHOMBUS (we do not have information about the angles, but it is enough to say that it is a rhombus since it is a parallelogram.)

Four Case:

We have four congruent sides and four right angles. Therefore, we have here a SQUARE.

In summary, we have:

1. First case: RECTANGLE (Figure 1.)

2. Second case: RHOMBUS (Figure 2.)

3. Third case: RHOMBUS (Figure 3.)

4. Fourth case: SQUARE (Figure 4.)
