Use rotation to find area and real quadratic factors

In an Argand diagram, P,QP,Q represent z1=2+3iz_1=2+3i and z2=iz1z_2=iz_1.

(i) Find the area of triangle OPQOPQ, where OO is the origin. marks

(ii) These numbers are roots of (z2+az+b)(z2+cz+d)=0(z^2+az+b)(z^2+cz+d)=0, where a,b,c,d∈Ra,b,c,d\in\mathbb R. Find a,b,c,da,b,c,d. marks
