AC is the diameter of the circle.

Thus,\angle ADC=90 \degree   and    \angle ABC=90 \degree............................1(Angle in a semi-circle is right angle)

Similarly, BD is the diameter of the circle.

 Thus,\angle BAD=90 \degree   and    \angle BCD=90 \degree............................2(Angle in a semi-circle is right angle)

From 1 and 2, we get

          \angle BCD=\angle ADC=\angle ABC=\angle BAD =90 \degree

Hence, ABCD is a rectangle.
