A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram in which each pair of adjacent sides is perpendicular. A parallelogram is a special case of a trapezium (known as a trapezoid in North America) in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
Each rectangle shape is characterized by two dimensions, its length and width. The longer side of the rectangle is known as the length and the shorter side is known as the width. In this chapter, let us learn about the rectangle shape, some rectangle formulas, types of rectangles and its properties. What is a Rectangle?
Recent reports have pointed to it being rectangular or slightly-rectangular, though many early reports seemed to think that it would have a circular face. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
1. Having the shape of a rectangle. 2. Having right angles or a rectangular base, side, or sides: a rectangular box. 3. Designating a geometric coordinate system with mutually perpendicular axes.
(Jump to Area of a Rectangle or Perimeter of a Rectangle) A rectangle is a four-sided flat shape where every angle is a right angle (90°). the little square in each corner means "right angle" Opposite sides are parallel and of equal length (so it is a Parallelogram). Play with a rectangle:
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and following properties. All four angles are right angles (90°). The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length and parallel to each other. A rectangle is a two-dimensional flat shape. Here, sides AB and CD are equal and parallel and are called the lengths of the rectangle.
