It is a rhombus.

L: $(7,5)$ , M: $(5,0)$ , N: $(3,5) and P:$ (5,10)#. Let us find length of LM, MN, NP and PL

LM= $sqrt((5-7)^2+(0-5)^2)=sqrt(4+25)=sqrt29$

MN= $sqrt((3-5)^2+(5-0)^2)=sqrt(4+25)=sqrt29$

NP= $sqrt((5-3)^2+(10-5)^2)=sqrt(4+25)=sqrt29$

PL= $sqrt((5-7)^2+(10-5)^2)=sqrt(4+25)=sqrt29$

As all the sides are equal, it is a rhombus.
