How is an oblong different to rectangle?
An oblong is what most people refer to as rectangle, so in that sense there is no difference. However, a square is a special kind of rectangle (with all its sides equal) and so the word 'oblong' is useful in distinguishing between the two types of rectangle.
What is the different between a rectangle and a oblong?
An oblong is a rectangle BUT a rectangle isn't necessarily an oblong. There are 2 types of rectangle: 1) Square (equal sided) 2) Oblong (unequal sided) Most refer to an oblong as a rectangle and use the word 'square' to be more specific as it has different properties.
What is the difference between oblong and quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is 4 sided shape. There are 6 main quadrilaterals: *Trapezium *Parallelogram *Rhombus *Kite *Square (type of rectangle) *Oblong (type of rectangle) Therefore, an oblong is one of the quadrilaterals. More specifically, an oblong is the traditional 'rectangle' in which the two sets of parallel lines are unequal. The term 'rectangle' refers to a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, hence a square is one too, but one with equal sides.
