2. Introduction
What is a Rectangle ??
A Rectangle is a parallelogram in which each
angle is a right angle.
3. Properties
Opposite sides are parallel and equal
Each angle is a right angle
Diagonals are equal
Diagonals bisect each other
4. Sum of the angles of the
Rectangle
ABCD is a rectangle. Hence,
AB II CD , AD II BC , A = C , B = D
If A is 90◦, then C is also the same.
B = D ( 90◦)
A + C = 180◦ ; 90◦ + 90◦ = 180◦
Sum of all angles is :
90◦ + 90◦ + 90◦ + 90◦ = 360◦ ; A + B + C + D = 360◦
5. Diagonals of a Rectangle
A rectangle has two diagonals, they are equal in length
and intersect in the middle.
The Diagonal is the square root of (width squared +
height squared):
Diagonal "d" = √(w2 + h2)
Example:
Q: A rectangle has a width of 12 cm, and a height of 5
cm, what is the length of a diagonal?
A: Diagonal Length = √(52 + 122) = √(25 + 144) = √169 = 13
cm
6. Area
Area of a rectangle = Length X Breadth
Example :
Q : A rectangle is 6 cm in Length and 3 cm in Breadth.
What is the n Area ?
A : Formula = L X B
6 X 3
= 18 cm

7. Perimeter
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 X ( Length + Breadth )
Example :
Q : A rectangle has a Length of 6 cm and Breadth of 2 cm.
Find the sdf Perimeter
A : Formula = 2 X ( L + B )
2 X ( 6 + 2 )
2 X 8
= 16 cm
8. Conclusion
Diagonal "d" = √(w2 + h2)
Area of a rectangle = Length X Breadth
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 X ( Length + Breadth )
Sum of all angles in a rectangle = 360
