In geometry, a rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral where all four of its angles are right angles. A rectangle with vertices ABCD would be denoted as .
Rectangles hold the following properties:
- Opposite sides are of equal length (congruent)
- Adjacent sides meet at right angles
- All four angles are of equal measure (congruent)
- All four angles are right angles
- Adjacent angles are supplementary
- Opposite sides are parallel
- Diagonals are of equal measure (congruent)
- Diagonals bisect one another
Area
The area of a rectangle is computed as the product of its length and its width:
