What is one fact about a rectangle?
Each angle of a rectangle is equal to the angle opposite.
Why is the area of a rectangle greater than that of a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
How do you draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 25 square units?
The rectangle is in fact a square with 4 equal sides of 5 units in length.
Every Rectangle is a rhombus?
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus, as a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. However, if all sides are congruent, and it has right angles, it is a square and therefore not a rectangle. So, the answer is no, although it may be argued to be yes. Wikipedia, in fact, mentions that a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; the definition of rectangle there is a quadrilateral with four right angles, thereby not excluding the special case of a rectangular rhombus, or a square. A rhombus is not normally a square but it could be.
B No square is a rectangle?
Your phrasing was a bit confusing, so I'll reword: Is a square a rectangle? Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: To be a rectangle, the following conditions must be satisfied: * Four Sides (Quadrilateral) * All sides are perpendicular (90 Degrees) * Opposite Sides are Parallel Since a square meets all of these conditions, it is, in fact, a type of rectangle.
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.
What is one fact about a rectangle?

Do a rectangle have right angles?
Yes, a rectangle has right angles. In fact it has 4 right angles.
You are a special rectangle all of my sides are equal?
The fact that all of YOUR sides are equal tells me nothing about what is special about ME, as a rectangle!
Does each diagonal of a rectangle always bisect a pair of opposite angles?
No. In general it does not. Only if the rectangle is, in fact, a square.
Why is the area of a rectangle greater than that of a parallelogram?
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
How do you find the width and length of a rectangle if you only know the diagnol?
If the only known fact is the length of the diagonal then the width and length of the rectangle CANNOT be determined. The diagonal could be that of a square, or of a rectangle that is very long but quite narrow. Consequently at least one more fact is required such as; the dimension of either the length or the width, or the angle that the diagonal makes to the base of the rectangle or even the area of the rectangle.
Is a rectangle and a square a rhombus?
All four sides of a rhombus has to be equal, hence rectangle is not a rhombus. A square is in fact a rhombus with right angles.
Is any fact that is true for every rectangle is also true for every square?
No. "The lengths of adjacent sides can be different." True for a rectangle, not true for a square.
How do you draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 25 square units?
The rectangle is in fact a square with 4 equal sides of 5 units in length.

Why did the shape oblong changed to rectangle?
It never changed! The word 'oblong' still exists as a non-square rectangle. Unfortunately the way shapes tends to be taught to pupils is through drawings rather than looking closely at properties; the latter identifies the fact that a rectangle is simply a quadrilateral with 4 right-angles. This means a square is a rectangle with equal sides and an oblong is a rectangle with unequal sides.
