What do the angle bisectors of a rectangle form?
(2) The angle bisectors in a general rectangle form a square (see Figure 4).
How do you find the angle bisector of a rectangle?
The angle bisectors will always be 45 degrees from both sides of each corner of the rectangle. Angles A ,B, C, and D will all be 90 degrees, because the other two angles in the triangles are 45 degrees. So now you know ABCD has 4 right angles, so it must be a rectangle.
What kind of angle are formed by the rectangle and the square?
| Name of Quadrilateral | Description |
|---|---|
| Rectangle | 2 pairs of parallel sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. All angles are congruent. |
| Square | 4 congruent sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel. All angles are congruent. |
| Trapezoid | Only one pair of opposite sides is parallel. |
Is diagonal of rectangle bisect the angle?
A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all angles are right angles. A rectangle is a parallelogram, so its opposite sides are equal. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
What is the properties of a rectangle?

How do you find the sides of a square in geometry?
Correct answer: The area of any quadrilateral can be determined by multiplying the length of its base by its height. Since we know the shape here is square, we know that all sides are of equal length. From this we can work backwards by taking the square root of the area to find the length of one side.
How do you prove a rectangle is a rectangle?
There are several easy ways to prove it is a rectangle.
- Show that all angles are 90 degrees.
- Show that one set of sides is parallel ,and that two opposite angles are 90 degrees.
- Show that the diagonals bisect each other, and that they are equal in length.
