Properties of a Rectangle
Discover the definition and key properties of a rectangle, from right angles and equal diagonals to area and perimeter formulas.
What You'll Learn
Identify a rectangle as a parallelogram with four right angles and two pairs of equal, parallel sides.
Apply the property that a rectangle's diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other.
Calculate the area of a rectangle using length times width and the perimeter using twice the sum of the sides.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of a rectangle's diagonal from its side lengths.
Compare a rectangle to a square and a rhombus to see which properties they share and which they do not.
