difference between trapezium and rectangle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Any quadrilateral which is formed by right angles on four sides is termed as a rectangle. If a rectangle is not square, “oblong” is the term used. “Rectangle” as a term comes from “rectiangulus,” a Latin word, being a combination of “rectus” and “angulus” meaning “right” and “angle” respectively. A so-called crossed rectangle is the self-intersecting quadrilateral that consists of two opposite sides along with two diagonals.
Rectangles can generally be defined as a quadrilateral which has an axis of symmetry running through each pair on opposite sides. This definition of rectangle includes both crossed and right angle rectangles with each having an axis of symmetry equidistant and parallel from each pair on the opposite sides and another perpendicular axis bisector of the sides. However, in the case of a crossed rectangle, the first axis cannot be regarded as the axis of symmetry of either side which it bisects. A square is the special case of rectangle where all sides are equal. A parallelogram is also a special case of a rectangle without the restriction of angles being at 90 degrees each.
