This document summarizes the key properties of a rectangle. It notes that a rectangle has four sides with two pairs of equal length sides and four right angles. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and its opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. Examples of rectangles in everyday life include laptops, dictionaries, and textbooks. The document also presents a word problem about finding the length and width of a rectangular path and shows the work to solve it.

Parallelogram Story By: Rayna Cody
Introduction Hello! my name is Rayna. I am sixteen years old and I go to New Heights Academy Charter School. I am currently taking a geometry class which is taught by my teacher Ms.Bush. And the goal of this project is to describe and explain the characteristics of a rectangle.
Basic Properties A rectangle has four sides and two pairs have the same length. And, in order to find the diagonals of a rectangle, one must use the Pythagorean theorem.
Specific Properties A rectangle is a plane figure with four right angles and congruent diagonals. Also, its opposite sides are parallel and congruent. The consecutive angles are supplementary. The length of opposite sides are equal. And the diagonals bisect each other.
Comparison All of the parallelograms are similar to one another because, each of their angles must add up to a total of 360°. Therefore each angle equals 90°. Rectangles opposite sides are all parallel. Plus, they each have four sides. In addition to the fact that, they each are quadrilaterals.  
Contrast This shape is unlike other parallelograms because this one has adjacent angles that are equal. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. A rectangle is especially unlike others because all angles add up to ninety degrees.
Problem Francis constructed a rectangular path. The distance around the rectangular path is 42m. The length of the path is 3m less than twice the width. Find the length and width of the path.          
Solve Property L=2w-3 2L+2W=42 2(2W-3)+2W=42 4W-6+2W=42 6W=42+6 6W=48 =8 rectangular path 6 (W=48 6=8) W=8 ÷ L=2x8-3 L=16-3=13 L=13 Proof 2x13+2x8=42 26+16=42 42=42  
○ Examples Examples of this rectangle in everyday life is of the rectangle in real life are a laptop, a Scott Foresman dictionary, and a McDougal Littell geometry textbook. These four all have four right angles, parallel sides, 90° angles. Plus all four shapes have four sides.  
Conclusion   Overall, this project was a learning experience for me. For example I learned that; in a rectangle there at least have to be two congruent sides, and I learned that a rectangle is a plane figure, the adjacent angles are equal and all of the angles added up are 360°. The most surprising thing I found out during this project was how much each of the parallelograms have in common. I also enjoyed Photo Story a lot because the special effects are amazing plus it had many unique components which allowed me to create an even more interesting story about my shape, it allows me to animate my work, insert the pictures I needed when necessary and it makes your work presentable.
