PQRS is a rhombus such that one of its diagonals PR is equal in length to its sides. Which of the following gives
the four angles of the rhombus?
Option 1. 60°, 60°, 60°, 60°
Option 2. 120°, 120°, 120°, 120°
Option 3. 90°, 90°, 90°, 90°
Option 4. (Such a rhombus with a diagonal equal to the sides is not possible)

let sides of a rhombous be a
then, as per question, one diagonal is also equal to a
diagonals of a rhombous are perpendicular bisectors
(I am not able to make diagram here)
imagine a right angle triangle inside rhombous.
the hypotenuse is a ( side of rhombous)
one side is a/2 ( half of one diagonal)
other side = √ a^2 - ,(a/2)^2
= √3a^2/4
= √3a/2
this length of other diagonal is 2*√3/2a = √3a
now tan any acute angle will be either
√3a/2/a/2
= √3 or 1/√3
the acute angles will be 60° and 30°
repeating this procedure in any adjacent triangle, we can derive that two opposit angles will be 120° each and other two angles will be 60° each.
so angles will be
120,60,120,60
