• The rectangle has the following properties:
  • All the properties of a parallelogram apply (the ones that matter here are parallel sides, opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other).
  • All angles are right angles by definition.
  • The diagonals are congruent.

  • All the properties of a rhombus apply (the ones that matter here are parallel sides, diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, and diagonals bisect the angles).
  • All the properties of a rectangle apply (the only one that matters here is diagonals are congruent).
  • All sides are congruent by definition.
  • All angles are right angles by definition.
