Given that:
A man runs in a particular path, in such a way that it is a quadrilateral.
Also, the opposite sides are equal and opposite angles are equal.
Also, the opposite sides are parallel.
So the given quadrilateral can either be a rectangle, parallelogram, or a square.
But the adjacent sides are not equal.
Therefore it will either be a parallelogram or a rectangle.

If all the angles of the quadrilateral are 90, then the quadrilateral is a rectangle, otherwise, it is a parallelogram.
