   Rectangular refers to something that has the shape or characteristics of a rectangle. A rectangle is a four-sided flat figure or shape with four right angles (90 degrees) and opposite sides that are equal in length.

Examples of rectangular in a Sentence

1. Takeshi Inomata:

   It is probable that many people from surrounding areas gathered for special occasions, possibly tied to calendrical cycles, the rituals probably involved processions along the causeways and within the rectangular plaza. The people also deposited symbolic objects such as jade axes in the center of the plateau.

2. Natalia Polukhina:

   It seems very strange to me to interpret this building as a water tank. In the same fortress of Naryn-Kala, there is an equal underground structure of 10 meters depth, and it really is a tank. This is just a rectangular building. The unusual building, in which we have put our detectors, has the shape of a cross, oriented strictly to the sides of the world, one side is 2 meters longer than the others, as the archaeologists who began excavations say, during construction, the building was entirely on the surface and it stands on the highest point of the Naryn-Kala. What is the sense to put the tank on the surface, and even on the highest mountain? It is strange. Currently, there are more questions than answers.
