In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.
A quadric quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on the perimeter of a square. [7] A diametric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral having one of its sides as a diameter of the circumcircle. [8] A Hjelmslev quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two right angles at opposite vertices. [9]
The orange and green quadrilaterals are congruent; the blue is not congruent to them. All three have the same perimeter and area. (The ordering of the sides of the blue quadrilateral is "mixed" which results in two of the interior angles and one of the diagonals not being congruent.)
A Saccheri quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two sides of equal length, both perpendicular to a side called the base. The other two angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are called the summit angles and they have equal measure. The summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are acute if the geometry is hyperbolic, right angles if the geometry ...
Artzy proves these propositions about quadrilateral shapes: If = (), then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. If a parallelogram has | arg p | = | arg q |, then it is a rhombus. When p = 1 + i and q = (1 + i)/2, then the quadrilateral is square.
The dual polygon of a rhombus is a rectangle: [12] A rhombus has all sides equal, while a rectangle has all angles equal. A rhombus has opposite angles equal, while a rectangle has opposite sides equal. A rhombus has an inscribed circle, while a rectangle has a circumcircle.
