Do you mean what is it? Square, Rhombus, or rectangle....? The drawing appears to be a rhombus however, no tick marks or 90 deg. angle signs indicate this....I am just told its a parallelogram...

MT is perpendicular to AH.....does this mean classify the parallelogram? I dont understand what the ? is asking.

You have a parallelogram. Perpendicular diagonals makes is a special case. It is a specific type of parallelogram.

A square is also a parallelogram. Does it have perpendicular diagonals?
A rectangle is also a parallelogram. Does it have perpendicular diagonals?
A rhombus is also a parallelogram. Does it have perpendicular diagonals?

A square is a special case of a rhombus.
A square is a special case of a rectangle.
