yes. A rectangle is any 4 sided 2 shape, while a square is a 4 sided shape with equal sides. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

The above answer does not address the question that was asked.
Technically, squares are a proper subset of rectangles. In that respect, any square is a rectangle as well and so the answer to the question is yes. However, if considering squares and non-square rectangles, the answer is no.
The previous answer is not correct, however. A rectangle is NOT any 4 sided 2 shape. A rectangle must have four right angles and two pairs of equal opposite sides.

yes
What type of rectangle has the smallest perimeter for the same area?
A square.
Can a rectangle have the same perimeter but different area explain?
No, any shape with four sides and same perimeter will always be a square.
If same area in a rectangle does that mean same perimeter?
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.

yes
Do figures with the same perimeter have the same area?
not necessarily. take the example of a 3x3 square and a 4x2 rectangle. Both have a perimeter of 12. but the square has an area of 9 and the rectangle has an area of 8.
What type of rectangle has the smallest perimeter for the same area?
A square.
Is it possible to have a rectangle with the same perimeter and area?
NO, because if you did it would be a square
What is the area of the square if a square has the same perimeter as a 5 x 11 rectangle?
64
How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
Can a rectangle have the same perimeter but different area explain?
No, any shape with four sides and same perimeter will always be a square.
If same area in a rectangle does that mean same perimeter?
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?
You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
What happens to the perimeter and the area of a rectangle if the length and the width are multiplied by the same number Use diagrams to explain?
If the length and width of a rectangle are multiplied by the same number, then . . . -- the perimeter is multiplied by the same number -- the area is multiplied by the square of the numbner
What is the area and perimeter of a square when l12.3 and w31?
The area of a rectangle of length 12.3 and width 31 is 12.3 X 31 = 381.3, the perimeter of the same rectangle is 2(12.3+31) = 86.6.
