# Rotated Rectangle

Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on . Posted in Plane Geometry

• Rectangle is a quadrilateral with two pair of parallel lines.
• A rotated rectangle is a structural shape used in construction.
• Interior angles are 90°
• Exterior angles are 90°
• Angle $$\;A = B = C = D$$
• 2 diagonals
• 4 edges
• 4 vertexs
