BY Team Aakash Byju's

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which the pair of opposite sides are equal in length.

Here,  AB = CD and BC = AD

All the angles are equal in a rectangle, with each angle being 90 degrees.

The area is defined as the amount of space an object occupies within its boundary. Area is measured in square units.

Area

The area of a rectangle is determined by its sides.

Area of a Rectangle

The area of a rectangle is computed in units by multiplying its breadth by its length.
