What solid figure would you get if you cut a rectangle in half?
If you cut a rectangle in half you wouldn't get a solid figure at all, since a rectangle is a plane figure. If you made a straight line cut you would get either a triangle or a quadrilateral of some variety depending on exactly how the cut was made.
Are some rectangles squares?
Yes. A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallelogram and all of the angles are 90 degrees. If a rectangle ends up having 4 equal sides, then it is a square. Therefore, only some rectangles can be squares. (It is important to think of squares as a "special" type of rectangle!)
What is the area and perimeter of a rectangle if you have the numbers 18 and 5?
The answer will depend on what those numbers represent and their units. It is possible that the question gives 18 and 5 units as the length and width of a rectangle and requires you to find the area and perimeter. Or It is possible that the question has given 18 in some units and 5 in some other units and requires you to determine which one could be the area and which the perimeter.
How many gal would a rectangle hold that is 48x18x30?
That depends on whether the numbers represent, inches, feet, yards, centimeters, or some other thing.
What makes a square and rectangle not alike?
Every square is a rectangle because a rectangle is a polygon with 4 sides (a quadrilateral) and 4 right angles. A square is a rectangle with 4 equal sides. So the thing that would makes some rectangles not like squares is they have only two sides of equal length and not four.
