Bridge Segment Lengths and Rectangles

This video tutorial covers the properties of rectangles, including two key theorems: if a quadrilateral is a rectangle, it is a parallelogram, and if a parallelogram is a rectangle, its diagonals are congruent. The video uses examples like a stained glass window and a bridge to illustrate these properties. It concludes with a preview of upcoming lessons on rhombuses and squares.

What is a rectangle?
