First answer: Yes, a rectangle can be a square if all it's sides are the same length. The definition of a rectangle is "a four sided figure where opposite sides are the same length. If all sides are 4 inches, then opposite sides will be equal.

Second answer:

~Yes, a rectangle can be a square. ~

The definition of a rectangle: a parallelogram with four sides, the sides are parallel to each other, the sides parallel to each other are the same length, there are 4 right angles

Difference between a square and a rectangle: all of the sides are the same length in a square

Conclusion: a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.
