A rectangle has four sides and four angles.
A rectangle is a closed shape.
All four angles of a rectangle are right angles. That is, they are 90 degrees.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel. That is, if they were extended infinitely they wouldn't touch.
***Additionally, the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent (unlike other parallelograms), and they also bisect each other. While all parallelograms share the bisecting diagonals characteristic, only rectangles (and by extension squares) have congruent diagonals.***

What are the properties of rhombus and rectangle that square has?
Properties of rhombus that square has :- * All sides are equal. Properties of rectangle that square has :- *Each angle is 90 degree. *Diagonals are equal.
What is a special type of a rectangle?
It is the golden rectangle so called because if its unique properties
Are any rectangles regular?
I don't think so because "rectangle" implies only properties of a rectangle, not a square. The rectangle would have to be a square to be regular.
Is a rectangle a regular polygon?
The properties of a Regular Polygon are:All sides are equalAll angles are equalA rectangle only shares one of these properties, Equal Angles, so No, a Rectangle is not a regular polygon.
When is a rectangle a square?
A rectangle is a square when all of its sides are the same length.A rectangle is SOMETIMES a square.However, a square, is ALWAYS a rectangle.This is due to the properties held by a rectangle as well as properties of a square.Properties of Rectangle:Opposite sides are congruent.All angles are 90o.Opposite sides are parallel.Opposite central angles created by the diagonals are congruent.All diagonals are congruent.Properties of a Square:All sides are congruent.All angles are 90o.Opposite sides are congruent.Opposite sides are parallel.Diagonals intersect at a 90o angle.All diagonals are congruent.So one can have a square that is always a rectangle due to the properties. However, a rectangle will only be a square if properties are the same as a square.SometimesWhen all of its sides are exactly the same length.
