A rectangle is a  four right-angled quadrilateral. All angles in a rectangle are equal to $$360°/4 = 90°$$. Moreover, the opposite sides are equal and parallel, and the diagonals bisect each other.

Properties of rectangles:
• Opposite sides are parallel and equal.
• All the interior angles are $$90°$$.
• Diagonals bisect each other.
The first property of a rectangle: The Opposite sides are parallel and equal.

Consider a rectangle $$ABCD$$,

Opposite sides are parallel: $$AB$$ $\parallel$ $$CD$$ & $$AC$$ $\parallel$ $$BD$$.

Opposite sides are equal: $$AB = CD$$ & $$AC = BD$$.
The second property of the rectangle: All the interior angles are $$90°$$.

Consider a rectangle $$ABCD$$.

Interior angles are $$90°$$: $$∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°$$.
The third property of rectangle: Diagonals bisect each other.

Consider a rectangle $$ABCD$$ with diagonals $$AD$$ and $$BC$$.

The diagonals $$AD$$ and $$BC$$ meet at point $$O$$.

Here the point $$O$$ dividing the diagonal into two equal parts.

Diagonals bisect each other: $$OA = OD$$ and $$OB = OC$$.
