The complex number \(z\) is such that \(\left| z \right|=1\) and \(\arg z=\theta \), where \(0<\theta <\frac{\pi }{4}\).

  1. Mark a possible point \(A\) on an Argand diagram. Hence, mark the points \(B\) and \(C\) representing \({{z}^{2}}\) and \(z+{{z}^{2}}\) respectively on the same Argand diagram corresponding to point \(A\).[2]
  2. State the geometrical shape of \(OACB\). [1]
