The root-2 rectangle (ACDK in Fig. 10) is constructed by extending two opposite sides of a square to the length of the square's diagonal. The root-3 rectangle is constructed by extending the two longer sides of a root-2 rectangle to the length of the root-2 rectangle's diagonal.
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.
Owing to the Pythagorean theorem, the diagonal dividing one half of a square equals the radius of a circle whose outermost point is the corner of a golden rectangle added to the square. [1] Thus, a golden rectangle can be constructed with only a straightedge and compass in four steps: Draw a square
A chessboard or a square with a side length of 8 units is cut into four pieces. Those four pieces are used to form a rectangle with side lengths of 13 and 5 units. Those four pieces are used to form a rectangle with side lengths of 13 and 5 units.
The hand is a non-SI unit of length equal to exactly 4 inches (101.6 mm). It is normally used to measure the height of horses in some English-speaking countries, including Australia, [4] Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
A four-dimensional orthotope is likely a hypercuboid. [7]The special case of an n-dimensional orthotope where all edges have equal length is the n-cube or hypercube. [2]By analogy, the term "hyperrectangle" can refer to Cartesian products of orthogonal intervals of other kinds, such as ranges of keys in database theory or ranges of integers, rather than real numbers.

The inscribed square problem, also known as the square peg problem or the Toeplitz' conjecture, is an unsolved question in geometry: Does every plane simple closed curve contain all four vertices of some square? This is true if the curve is convex or piecewise smooth and in other special cases. The problem was proposed by Otto Toeplitz in 1911. [1]
