Recognizing Rectangles

The video tutorial explains the properties of squares, highlighting that they have four equal sides and square corners. It then demonstrates how stretching a square from the sides or top and bottom transforms it into a rectangle, which retains square corners but has unequal adjacent sides, with only opposite sides being equal. The lesson concludes with a recap of the differences between squares and rectangles.

What happens to a square when it is stretched from the sides?

• It becomes a triangle.

• It remains a square.

• It becomes a rectangle.

• It becomes a circle.

When a square is stretched from the top and bottom, what shape does it form?

• A triangle with equal sides.

• A square with larger sides.

• A rectangle with four square corners.

• A circle with equal radius.

Which of the following is true about a rectangle?

• Only opposite sides are equal.

• All sides are equal.

• It has no equal sides.

What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?

• A square has three sides, while a rectangle has four sides.
