By joining the ends of the two diameters, we get a rectangle.

Therefore, by measuring, we find that AB=CD and BC=AD, i.e., pairs of opposite sides are equal and also \angle A = \angle B = \angle C = \angle D = 90^{\circ}.

and each angle is fo 90^{\circ}.

Hence, it is a rectangle:

If the diameters are perpendicular to each other, then we get a square by joining the ends of two diameters.

Then, by measuring the length of the side we find that AB=BC=CD=DA. That is all sides are of the same size also, \angle A = \angle B = \angle C = \angle D = 90^{\circ}, and each angle is 90^{\circ}.

Hence, it is a square:
