Overview

Compare side, angle, and diagonal features of special parallelograms.

Explanation

Rectangle: a parallelogram with a right angle → four right angles, equal diagonals.
Rhombus: a parallelogram with a pair of adjacent equal sides → all sides equal, perpendicular diagonals.
Square: both a rectangle and a rhombus — all of the above.

How to use

Switch shapes and adjust available side/angle sliders; focus on the diagonals.
