Understanding Oblongs vs. Rectangles: Key Differences and Applications

Oblongs are a type of shape that is similar to a rectangle, but with one longer side than the other. The term "oblong" is often used interchangeably with "rectangle," but an oblong typically has a longer side that is more than twice the length of the shorter side. For example, if a rectangle has a length of 5 inches and a width of 3 inches, it would be considered an oblong because the longer side (5 inches) is more than twice the length of the shorter side (3 inches).
