I'm having a hard time deciphering how i would answer this question since I've never seen a question like this that has a transition metal, so can i get some help please.
im guesiing cl would bond 4 times

I think you are just expected to learn the shapes of transition metal complex ions.
I've attached a picture out of my revision guide it tells you all you really need to know.
The only two exceptions are Pt and Ni which will form a square planar

(whilst it could be square planar as well bc of the fact that it does also have 4 coordinate bonding pairs, this is only seen at A2 with platinum and the only example of a platinum complex at A2 is cisplatin ( (NH3)2PtCl2 ) which bears less similarity to [RhCl4]2- compared to [CuCl4]2- )

remember you guys, the planar sqaure shape arises when more than 1 ligand is present (ammonia and Cl- in cisplatin). all others are tetrahedral bond angle 109.5°
