Rectangle
A rectangle is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides equal in length and all interior angles right angles (that is 90o). The area of a rectangle is the product of two adjacent sides. For example, if the sides of a rectangle are 8 cm and 6 cm then the area is 48 cm2. The area of a rectangle can be effectively explored using grid paper.
