 DEFINATION

Rectangle (four-sided
plane figure) with
opposite sides equal and
parallel and with each
interior angle a right
angle (90°). Its area A is
the product of the
 CHARACTERSTICS OF
RECTANGLE
 Rectangle is a simple
close figure.
 Opposite sides of a
Rectangle are equal.
 Measure of each angle
of a Rectangle=90°
PERIMETER OF RECTANGLE
A l D

b b

B C
l

Perimeter of a
rectangle=AB+BC+CD+DA
=
l+b+l+b
 EXAMPLE

1. The length and breadth

of a rectangle is equal to
12cm and 8cm.Find its
Perimeter of rectangle=
Perimeter.
2*(l+b)
=
2*(12cm+8cm)
 AREA OF RECTANGLE

The area of rectangle

ABCD is equal to the
Multiplication of its
Length
Area of and Breadth..
Rectangle=Length*Breadt
h
 EXAMPLE

1.Find the Area of a

Rectangle whose Length &
Breadth are as under-
Length = 6m , Breadth =
Area of Rectangle=l*b
3.5m.
=6m* 3.5m
=21.0m2
= 21m2
 POINTS TO REMEMBER

The diagonals of a rectangle

are equal and bisect each other.
A rect angle wit h four equal
sides is a s quare.
