Question

What are the properties of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Properties of the rectangle.

A rectangle is a type of a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel and equal in lengths with all four angles equal to $90°$.

The properties of the rectangle are following:

• The diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other.
• Both diagonals of the rectangle are equal in length.
• The sum of all four interior angles of the rectangle is equal to $360°$.
• The area of the rectangle is computed as,

$\mathrm{Area}=\mathrm{length}\times \mathrm{width}$

• The perimeter of the rectangle is computed as,

$\mathrm{Perimeter}=2(\mathrm{length}+\mathrm{width})$

• The diagonal of the rectangle will be the diameter of its circumcircle.

Therefore, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal, and all four angles are right angles.
