What is a rectangle with one pair of opposite sides longer than the other pair called?
You just described a run-of-the-mill rectangle. A special case of the rectangle, where all sides are equal, is the square. But if you have a quadrilateral with four right angles and one pair of opposite sides is longer than the other pair of opposite sides, you have a rectangle. Period.
What else can I help you with?
Do the two opposite sides of a rectangle have to be longer than the other two opposite sides?
Usually when thinking of a rectangle we see that two parallel sides are longer than the other two. However a rectangle is just defined as having four right angles so a square can be a rectangle meaning that a rectangle may have all four sides of the same length. A square is always a rectangle. A rectangle is not always a square.
How is a kite and a rectangle similar and different?
Both are quadrilaterals. Both have two pairs of side of equal length. In a kite they are adjacent sides, in a rectangle they are opposite. A kite has one pair of equal angles, all of a rectangle's angles are equal. In a kite, one diagonals bisects the other, in a rectangle both do.
How many equal sides does rectangle have?
A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. In other words, opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. This property distinguishes a rectangle from a square, which has all four sides equal in length.
Are diagonals of equal length in a parallelogram and rectangle?
the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
What are properties of a rectangle?
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.***

Why are the opposite side of a rectangle parallel?
Other wise it wouldn't be a rectangle.
How is square and rectangle are different?
a rectangle has longer sides then the square then the other
How do you find the length of a given side if you have lengths of other sides of a rectangle?
By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.
Where is the length in the rectangle?
The length of a rectangle is typically considered to be the longer of the two sides, also referred to as the longer dimension. It is measured along the longer side of the rectangle from one end to the other.
How can you prove that a rectangle is really a rectangle?
In a rectangle, all the opposite sides, and angles are congruent to each other. All 4 angles of the rectangle, are right angles.

Does a square have two pairs of opposite sides parallel?
yes. a square always has four equal sides. a rectangle also has four sides but one set is longer than the other.
What is a 4 sided shape that has opposite sides parallel to each other?
rectangle
a parallelogram with four right and one pair of opposite sides longer than the other pair is called?
Trapezoid
What figure is a rectangle?
a rectangle is a parallelogram with all the angles measuring 90 degrees. a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel to each other.
