Find Out Things About Rectangles

Notes about rectangles:

• A rectangle is most often characterized by its height h, and its width, w.
• The width and height of a rectangle are usually different. If they are the same, then the rectangle becomes a square.
• The perimeter, or distance around a rectangle is h+w+h+w or 2h+2w.
• The area enclosed by a rectangle is h × w or hw.
• The distance from one corner of a rectangle to the opposite corner is sometimes called the diagonal and is given by (w²+h²)^1/2.
