Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be shown to be a parallelogram by showing the sum of endpoints of the diagonals is the same.

  A +C = B +D

  (0, 6) +(0, -4) = (0, 2) = (3, 5) +(-3, -3) . . . . diagonals bisect each other

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it is a parallelogram. A parallelogram with a right angle is a rectangle. So, ABCD is a rectangle.

Additional comment

The midpoint of each diagonal is half the sum of the end point coordinates. That is, the midpoints are (0, 2)/2 = (0, 1). Since calculation of the midpoints requires both sums be divided by 2, we can tell the midpoints are the same if the sums are the same.

Answer:

Yes, because opposite sides are parallel, and \angle A∠Aangle, A is a right angle.
