Rectangle, Square
A rectangle is a four-sided figure whose sides are straight lines and whose angles are right angles.
A square is a rectangle whose sides are all equal.
Let
l = length,
w =
width, and d
=
diagonal.
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides: P = 2l + 2w
The area of a rectangle is its length times its width: A = lw
The diagonal of a rectangle is the square root
of the sum of the squares of its length and width.
Example: The perimeter of a rectangle of width
and length
is
and
its area is
