Rectangle

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides that are equal in length and parallel to each other. The opposite angles in a rectangle are also equal. The properties of a rectangle include:

• Opposite sides are equal in length
• Opposite angles are equal
• The sum of all angles is 360 degrees
• Diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other

Formulas:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Study Guide:

Here are some key points to remember about rectangles:

1. A rectangle has four sides, and the opposite sides are equal in length.
2. The opposite angles in a rectangle are also equal.
3. The sum of all angles in a rectangle is 360 degrees.
4. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width.
5. The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding the lengths of all four sides.
6. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other.
