When you asked the question, there was a box where you typed your question. That was a rectangle. This box I am typing in is a rectangle, the box that show up under this one, the know your source is a rectangle. Basically a rectangle is a four side box with the top two line parallel to each other and the side two lines parallel to each other.

rectangle
rect - angle
"rect" means "right" - you see it in words like "rectify" and "rectitude".
So, it's a polygon whose angles are all right angles. With only that definition, one can prove all the other properties of rectangles (four sides, parallel, equal length, etc.)

Close your eyes. Imagine a square. Stretch it out so it is longer than it is wide. Right like the shape of a regular notebook. (81/2 by 11). Yeah you got it!
