rectangular
Like a door
Rectangular describes something shaped like a rectangle—a four-sided figure with four right angles.
Most rooms, pages, screens, and doors are rectangular.
The word applies to anything with that characteristic shape: a rectangular table, a rectangular plot of land.
In casual use, rectangular and oblong overlap, though technically a square is also rectangular.
