This is a simple rectangle. dubious – discuss
A rectangle that is not simple is complex, dubious – discuss but more clearly described as self-intersecting or crossed. It is defined as dubious – discuss a self-intersecting quadrilateral with the same vertex arrangement as a simple rectangle. An alternative view (covering both simple and self-intersecting shapes) is to define a rectangle as an equiangular quadrilateral.
Rectangles may be used in periodic tilings of the plane. Another popular subject in recreational mathematics is the tiling of rectangles by polygons, ranging from simple puzzles to unsolved problems.
This fact is given under "miscellaneous" but does it not belong as a "characterization"? This seems rather inconsistent to me. TheGrappler ( talk) 16:39, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Please add phonetic and audio pronunciation of the word 'rectangle'. Thanks Shimmy ( talk) 04:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

I guess this means: of all the fold-lines that pass through the center, find the one (or two, in the special case) that minimizes the area of the overlap. Is that right? —Tamfang ( talk) 02:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
