it is. assuming you actually want the explanation - it satisfies the requirements for a rectangle being all angles (4) being of 90 degrees, opposite sides being of equal length and diagonals bisecting each other.

Yup.

Just like a square is also a special parallogram, and a special quadrilateral.

It has all the properties of a rectangle PLUS four equal sides, therefore diagonals are perpendicular to each other
