suorakulmaisissa

Suorakulmaisissa refers to geometric figures that possess right angles. The most common example is a rectangle, a four-sided polygon where all interior angles are 90 degrees and opposite sides are equal in length. A special case of a rectangle is a square, where all four sides are equal in length in addition to having right angles.

In three-dimensional space, the concept extends to shapes like rectangular prisms, also known as cuboids. A rectangular prism is a solid object with six rectangular faces. A cube is a specific type of rectangular prism where all six faces are squares.

The properties of suorakulmaisissa shapes are fundamental in geometry and have numerous applications. For instance, calculating the area of a rectangle involves multiplying its length by its width, and the volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. These calculations are crucial in fields such as architecture, engineering, and everyday measurements. The perpendicularity of the sides or faces is the defining characteristic that distinguishes these shapes from others.
