A rhombus usually (but not always) has 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.

Explanation:

-The only time a rhombus doesn’t have any obtuse angles is when it’s a square (all right angles).

A rhombus by definition has four equal sides, which also means that if you draw diagonals from each corner to the opposite corner, they intersect at 90 degrees.

-It doesn’t necessarily mean that there are two obtuse angles and two acute angles, but unless it’s a square, then that will be the case.

(Side note: a square is a rhombus in the same way it is a rectangle- but not the other way around)
