Properties of rectangles, rhombuses and squares

Front

What is a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal in length and all angles equal to 90 degrees.

Front

What is a rhombus?

Back

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length and opposite angles that are equal.

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a special type of rectangle and rhombus where all four sides are equal in length and all angles are 90 degrees.

Front

What property do the diagonals of a rhombus have?

Back

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles and bisect the angles of the rhombus.

Front

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width (Area = length × width).

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a rectangle?

Back

In a rectangle, all angles are right angles (90 degrees), and the sum of the interior angles is 360 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a rectangle?

Back

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as P = 2(length + width).

Front

What is the property of the diagonals in a square?

Back

In a square, the diagonals are equal in length, bisect each other, and are perpendicular to each other.

Front

How do you find the area of a rhombus?

Back

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula: Area = (d1 × d2) / 2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
