Hi everyone,
I want to verify if a quadrilateral is a rectangle or not.
I thought may be about the angles ( if one of them is different from 0.5*Pi )
Thank you
Probably a million ways to do this; here is but one. BTW, I didn’t use Equal to test for equality of areas because of floating point errors, a common complaint on this forum.

I think the first thing you need to check is if it’s planar or not.
thank you it works correctly

I assumed that @Maya_Lily knew what kind of shapes she was working with, but here’s something to address the degenerate quad case.

In general case, an arbitrary curve is rectangle if:
- is closed curve
- is planar curve
- is polyline
- all angles at discontinuity equal to Pi/2

my question was just for quadrilaterals, but I have more shapes (rectangle, rectangle+arc, rectangle+2 arcs, segment++arc, cercle, ellipse and “other”)
Like in the file below

it’s ok for circle and elipse. But for unknown i want to identify them more in my case i Have : “rectangle”, “segment+arc”; “rectangle+arc”; “rectangle+2 arcs” and “other”
So in total I have 7 types
Why didn’t you asked for this in the beginning? People could save time if you can’t even need their solutions to your initial question.
I said that the solution of @akilli is ok for me and I thank him a lot for that 
, so I added his solution to my original work… but when people continue trying, I mentioned that my purpose is not to evaluate all the shapes in the world just the seven types related my work… I didn’t want to ask about everything to don’t think that I need someone to work in my place, it was just a question about somenthing specific that I can reshape according to my need…
So I’m not loosing people their time, if it’s true I’m sorry @tim.stark
Forget it. My bad sorry! Didn’t read everything right.
