Do not use a calculator in answering this question.

It is given that \(z = \sqrt{3} - \mathrm{i}\) and \(w = 2\mathrm{i}z\).

  1. Find the modulus and argument of \(z\).[2]
  2. Deduce the modulus and argument of \(w\).[2]

\(O\), \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) represent the complex numbers \(0\), \(z\), \(z + w\) and \(w\) respectively.

  1. Illustrate these four points on a single diagram.[2]
  2. Identify the shape of the quadrilateral \(OABC\) and state its area.[2]
