Suppose we are given a quadrilateral . There are several easy ways to prove it is a rectangle.
- Show that all angles are 90 degrees.
- Show that one set of sides is parallel ,and that two opposite angles are 90 degrees.
- Show that the diagonals bisect each other, and that they are equal in length.
- Show that it is a parallelogram and that diagonals are equal in length.
These are quite redundant and they all go back to the original definition of a rectangle and its properties.
