Rectangles
Properties of Rectangles A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.
Here are the properties of rectangles.
A rectangle has all the properties of a parallelogram.
• Opposite sides are parallel.
• Opposite angles are congruent.
• Opposite sides are congruent.
• Consecutive angles are supplementary.
• The diagonals bisect each other.
Also:
• All four angles are right angles. ∠UTS, ∠TSR, ∠SRU, and ∠RUT are right angles.
• The diagonals are congruent. ̅̅̅̅ ≅ ̅̅̅̅

rectangle. If US = 6x + 3 and RT = 7x – 2, find x. rectangle. If m∠STR = 8x + 3 and m∠UTR = 16x – 9,
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, so US = RT. find m∠STR.
6x + 3 = 7x – 2 ∠UTS is a right angle, so m∠STR + m∠UTR = 90.
3=x–2 8x + 3 + 16x – 9 = 90
5=x 24x – 6 = 90
24x = 96
x=4
m∠STR = 8x + 3 = 8(4) + 3 or 35

Rectangles
Prove that Parallelograms Are Rectangles The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, and the converse is also true.
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.
In the coordinate plane you can use the Distance Formula, the Slope Formula, and properties of diagonals to show that a
figure is a rectangle.
Example: Quadrilateral ABCD has vertices A(–3, 0), B(–2, 3), C(4, 1), and D(3, –2).
Determine whether ABCD is a rectangle.
Method 1: Use the Slope Formula.
3−0 3 −2 − 0 −2 1
̅̅̅̅ =
slope of 𝐴𝐵 = or 3 ̅̅̅̅ =
slope of 𝐴𝐷 = or − 3
−2 − (−3) 1 3 − (−3) 6
−2 − 1 −3 1−3 −2 1
̅̅̅̅ =
slope of 𝐶𝐷 = −1 or 3 ̅̅̅̅ =
slope of 𝐵𝐶 = or − 3
3−4 4 − (−2) 6
Opposite sides are parallel, so the figure is a parallelogram. Consecutive sides are perpendicular, so ABCD is a rectangle.
Method 2: Use the Distance Formula.

AB = √(−3 − (−2))2 + (0 − 3)2 or √10 BC = √(−2 − 4)2 + (3 − 1)2 or √40
CD = √(4 − 3)2 + (1 − (−2))2 or √10 AD = √(−3 − 3)2 + (0 − (−2))2 or √40
Opposite sides are congruent, thus ABCD is a parallelogram.
AC = √(−3 − 4)2 + (0 − 1)2 or √50 BD = √(−2 − 3)2 + (3 − (−2))2 or √50
ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent diagonals, so ABCD is a rectangle.
