A rectangle can be a square but a square cannot be a rectangle. No, for a shape to be a rectangle, it must have 2 pairs of parallel sides and 4 right angles. The square shares both of these qualities, but it also must have 4 congruent (same) sides, which means they must all be the same length. Therefore, a rectangle cannot be a square.
No. A square must have all four sides equal. A rectangle need not.
True, a square can be classified as a rectangle - a rectangle must have 4 - 90° angles and it CAN have 4 equal sides. A rectangle cannot be classified as a square.
There reason is because a rhombus must have two sets of parallel sides and a square has just that! It is a rectangle because it has four right angles as any rectangle must have!
it cant all sides have to be equilateral edit- a rectangle cannot be a square. however, a square can be a rectangle. reedit - A rectangle can be a square, however, a square must be a rectangle. A rectangle has four 90 degree angles, which a square also has. The rectangle has two pairs of equal length sides, which a square also has. The only additional requirement for a square is that the length of all four sides be equal, which is not ruled out for a rectangle.
Sides of equal length.
A square is a rectangle even through a rectangle is not always a square.
No. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
A square, a rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid
For a figure to be a square, it must have four congruent sides and four right angles. For a figure to be a rectangle, it only has to have four right angles.
A square is always a rectangle, but it is a rectangle that isn't a square.
