no rectangles dont have 4 congruent side, otherwise it would be a square or a rhombus.
No. Usually only opposite sides are congruent.
a rectangle has 4 right angles. A rhombus has four congruent sides. A square has four right angles and four congruent sides. All squares are rectangles because all rectangles have 4 right angles, and all squares have four right angles. But not all rectangles are squares because not all rectangles have congruent sides.
All figures with four congruent sides are rhombuses. All figures with four congruent angles are rectangles. Any shape that is both a rhombus and a rectangle is a square.
Yes. The basic definition for a rectangle is 4 sides, four right angles(perpendicular), and opposite sides are congruent.
A quadrilateral is a plane figure with four straight sides and does not necessarily have any congruent angles. Some quadrilaterals such as, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and parallelograms do have congruent angles.
you are probably referring to the theory that all rectangles are squares but not all squares are not rectangles. the answer is simple; a rectangle has two sets of parallel line and 4-right angles, where as a square has the same description with one extra detail that it has 4-congruent sides as well. the reason that a square is a rectangle is because a square fits the description of two parallel sides and 4-right angles. A not all rectangles fit the description of a square because it does not have 4 congruent sides.
The characteristics for a rectangle is that it has to have 4 right angles and 2 pairs of congruent and parallel sides. Squares have to meet these requirements and also have to have all sides congruent. All rectangles meet to the rectangle's standard, but not all of them meet up to a square's standard. Therefore, not all rectangles are squares. Or, in a more simplified version: squares are a type of rectangle, but rectangles are not a type of squares, therefore not all rectangles are squares.
They are 4 sided quadrilaterals and have 4 right angles with a pair of opposite parallel sides but it is not a square.
A rhombus has 4 congruent sides, but it does not necessarily have 4 congruent angles.
You must be talking about a rhombus.In a rhombus, all four sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, and opposing sides are parallel. Rectangles, squares, and kites must be rhombi, and rhombi must be parallelograms, quadrilaterals, and polygons.
No it has 4 congruent angles and 2 sets of congruent sides
