  • If you plug the numbers into the Pythagorean theorem and it all checks out, then the shape is a rectangle

    14.4^2 + 5.2^2 = 15.31^2

    234.4 = 234.3961

    Because of the errors present in rounding, it can be safely said that this is a rectangle. 234.3961, for all intents and purposes, is close enough to 234.4.

    8.1^2 + 6.3^2 = 10.15^2

    105.3 = 103.0225

    105.3 is obviously not close enough to 103.0225, so it's not a rounding error that's present, so that's obviously not a rectangle
