Do rectangles have adjacent sides that are congruent?
The ones that have are called 'squares'.
Why is a square also a rectangle?
Because there opposite sides are congruent. And all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares!
What quadrilaterals have two pairs of congruent sides?
Parallelograms Rhombuses Rectangles Squares
Why are some rectangles not squares?
squares are rectangles because they are both four sided but rectangles are not squares because a rectangle doesn't have equal sides and squares have equal sides
Are all squares rectangles and if so why?
Rectangles have four right angles so, yes, all squares are rectangles because they also have four right-angled corners. However, rectangles can have sides of any length, as long as the opposite sides are of equal length, whereas a square has all four sides of equal length. A more technical reply could be that a rectangle has two pairs of congruent and parallel sides, which all squares have.
Does a rectangle have all congruent sides?
No, rectangles do not have congruent sides. Squares have congruent sides.
Do all rectangles have four congruent sides?
No, only those rectangles that are squares have four congruent sides.
When are rectangles squares?
When two adjacent sides are equal (congruent).
Do rectangles have adjacent sides that are congruent?

Why is a square also a rectangle?
Because there opposite sides are congruent. And all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares!
What is a quadrilateral with opposite sides of congruent?
Parallelograms, rhombuses, squares, and rectangles are the quadrilaterals that have opposite congruent sides.
Can a rectangle be a square explain?
a rectangle has 4 right angles. A rhombus has four congruent sides. A square has four right angles and four congruent sides. All squares are rectangles because all rectangles have 4 right angles, and all squares have four right angles. But not all rectangles are squares because not all rectangles have congruent sides.
Are Squares the same as Rectanangles?
No. Squares technically qualify as rectangles (parallel opposite sides, ninety degree angles, opposite sides are congruent, etc.) however rectangles do not qualify as squares. Squares MUST have four sides of equivalent length, and rectangles do not meet this criterion.
How come not all rectangles are squares?
The characteristics for a rectangle is that it has to have 4 right angles and 2 pairs of congruent and parallel sides. Squares have to meet these requirements and also have to have all sides congruent. All rectangles meet to the rectangle's standard, but not all of them meet up to a square's standard. Therefore, not all rectangles are squares. Or, in a more simplified version: squares are a type of rectangle, but rectangles are not a type of squares, therefore not all rectangles are squares.
What quadrilaterals have opposite sides congruent?
Slanted polygons, rectangles, squares, trapazoids, kites
What quadrilaterals have two pairs of congruent sides?
Parallelograms Rhombuses Rectangles Squares
Does a square always have congruent sides?
Yes, a square will always be congruent, but rectangles also can be squares too. This is where you choose whether or not it is or not.
