SQUARES
- Squares are polygons with four equal sides, and four right angles.
- They have opposite sides which are also parallel.
- A square, or a regular quadrilateral, is a special case of a rectangle as it has four right angles and four parallel sides.
- A square is also a special case of a rhombus, and kite, parallelogram.
- To find the perimeter of a square whose sides have length S is P= 4S.
- To find the area of a square the equation is A= S^2.

RECTANGLES
- A rectangle is a quadrilateral where all four of its angles are right angles.
- This definition also follows that any rectangle has a pair of parallel sides, forcing the rectangle to also be a parallelogram.
- A rectangle that is not a square is known to be an oblong rectangle.
- Typically, the two longer parallel sides in a rectangle are traditionally considered to be the length of the rectangle. The adjacent side is called the width.
- To find the area of a rectangle, take the length and multiply it to the width of the rectangle. The formula follows A=lw.
