Rects

Rects, short for rectangles, are quadrilaterals with four right angles. They are a fundamental shape in geometry and are characterized by their opposite sides being equal in length and parallel to each other. Rects can be classified as either squares or oblongs, depending on whether all sides are equal or not. Squares are a special type of rect where all four sides are of equal length, and all angles are right angles. Oblongs, on the other hand, have opposite sides of equal length but the sides are not all of the same length.

The area of a rect can be calculated using the formula: Area = length × width. The perimeter of a rect is the sum of all its sides, which can be calculated using the formula: Perimeter = 2 × (length + width). Rects are commonly used in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and design due to their simplicity and versatility. They are also a key component in computer graphics, where they are used to define the boundaries of objects and windows on screens.
