When a rectangle is rotated around an axis that bisects it, the shape formed is a cylinder. The axis of rotation passes through the center of the rectangle, creating two identical semicircular ends and a cylindrical surface. The height of the cylinder corresponds to the length of the rectangle, while the radius is half the width of the rectangle.
Rotating a rectangle through space around one of its edges forms a rectangular prism, also known as a cuboid. If the rectangle is rotated around its longer dimension, it creates a cylinder. The specific solid depends on the axis of rotation; for example, rotating around the width will yield a different cylindrical shape than rotating around the height.
a squished rectangle
There is no general reason. But before I can answer in more detail, what were you bisecting? A line, an angle, a polygon, some other shape?
a rectangle
A rectangle is formed by perpendicular lines that create four 90 degree angles.
