What's the difference between quadrangle and rectangle?

Quadrangle


Definition:

  • (n.) A plane figure having four angles, and consequently four sides; any figure having four angles.
  • (n.) A square or quadrangular space or inclosure, such a space or court surrounded by buildings, esp. such a court in a college or public school in England.

  • (20) The main characteristic determining estimated orientation of the quadrangles was the axis from which the sum of the squared distances to each point of the figure was minimal (the LS-axis).

Rectangle


Definition:

  • (n.) A four-sided figure having only right angles; a right-angled parallelogram.
  • (a.) Rectangular.
