The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent or equal. This is true because a rectangle, which is a parallelogram, must adhere to properties belonging to parallelograms. Some of these properties include that a parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides that are congruent, and that it has diagonals that bisect one another.
