A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides that are equal in length and four right angles. The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and the adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2 * (length + width)
The formula for the area of a rectangle is: A = length * width
Rectangles are commonly found in everyday objects such as doors, windows, and paper.
