Applying the Properties of a Rectangle

Your knowledge of parallelograms will help you learn about the properties of a rectangle. Remember, just like a parallelogram, a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, two sets of congruent opposite sides, and two sets of parallel sides. This means that a rectangle inherits all of the properties of a parallelogram. However, a rectangle also has properties that separate it from a parallelogram.
