- Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal or congruent.
- Opposite angles of a rectangle are equal.
- All its angles are right angles; or
- The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.
- Each diagonal divides the rectangle into two congruent triangles.
- The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
- Both pairs of opposite sides are equal and one angle is 90; or
- Both pairs of opposite sides are equal and its diagonals are equal.
