Answer

Let<br>$A=z_{1}$<br>$B=z_{2}$<br>$C=z_{3}$<br>$D=z_{4}$<br>Hence<br>$z_{1}-z_{4}=z_{2}-z_{3}$<br>Implies $AD||BC$<br>Hence opposites sides are parallel. Therefore its a type of parallelogram.<br>Now <br>$arg(\dfrac{z_{4}-z_{1}}{z_{2}-z_{1}})=\angle A$<br>$=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$.<br>Hence<br>All the angles are $90^{0}$<br>therefore, it is rectangular <br> a rectangle
