GCSE Maths Practice: triangles-and-quadrilaterals

Question 1 of 10

This question focuses on the properties of rectangles.

›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which of the following are true properties of a rectangle?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

Check opposite sides, right angles, and diagonal properties to identify rectangles.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal and all angles measuring 90°. Its diagonals are equal and bisect each other. Recognizing these properties is essential for solving geometry problems, calculating perimeters and areas, and distinguishing rectangles from other quadrilaterals such as squares, rhombuses, and parallelograms. Rectangles appear in diagrams, design layouts, construction plans, and real-life applications. Practicing identification, drawing, and labeling rectangles helps students strengthen geometric reasoning, understand symmetry, and prepare for GCSE exam questions. Being confident with rectangle properties also aids in proofs and composite shape calculations.
