rectangle
Four right angles
A rectangle is a four-sided shape with four right angles.
The opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Squares are technically rectangles, but in everyday use rectangle implies a shape longer in one direction than the other: a rectangle of light fell through the doorway.
The word appears in contexts from geometry class to describing any oblong shape.
