A 2D shape bounded by four line segments forming four 90-degree internal angles.
Properties
- It is 2D counterpart of a cuboid.
- Vertex: A corner of the rectangle. A rectangle has 4 vertices.
- Diagonal: A line segment joining two opposite vertices of the rectangle.
- A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 vertices.
- It has 2 equal diagonals which are bisectors of each other.
- Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel, i.e. it is a parallelogram.
- It can be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral.
A = l × w
l: length, w: width
P = 2(l + w)
