What is the difference?
- 1Angles: Quadrate has four right angles, while rectangle also has four right angles but with two acute and two obtuse angles.
- 2Versatility: Rectangle is more versatile and can describe a wider range of shapes and objects than quadrate.
- 3Usage: Quadrate is less commonly used than rectangle in everyday language.
- 4Connotation: Quadrate is more formal and technical than rectangle, which is more commonly used in casual conversation.
Remember this!
Quadrate and rectangle are both shapes with four sides and four right angles. However, the difference between them lies in their length and angles. A quadrate is a shape with four equal sides and four right angles, while a rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides that are equal in length and four right angles with two acute and two obtuse angles. Rectangle is more versatile and commonly used in everyday language, while quadrate is more formal and technical.
