The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum total length of all of its sides.<ref>https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/perimeter.html</ref> A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral, or a geometric shape with four sides. In a rectangle, both sets of opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same length.<ref>https://www.wyzant.com/resources/lessons/math/geometry/quadrilaterals/rectangles_rhombuses_squares</ref> While not all rectangles are squares, all squares can be considered rectangles, and a compound shape may be composed of rectangles.<ref>http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mepres/book7/bk7i9/bk7_9i4.htm</ref> | The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum total length of all of its sides.<ref>https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/perimeter.html</ref> A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral, or a geometric shape with four sides.
