What are the properties of a rectangle?How do I tell if a parallelogram is a rectangle?

RECTANGLES

Rectangle: A quadrilateral with 4 right angles.

How does this compare to a parallelogram?

RECTANGLE

1. Opposite Sides are and 2. Opposite s are 3. Consecutive s are supplementary4. Diagonals are and diagonals bisect each other5. All four s are right6. If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then the diagonals

are
