you are probably referring to the theory that all rectangles are squares but not all squares are not rectangles. the answer is simple; a rectangle has two sets of parallel line and 4-right angles, where as a square has the same description with one extra detail that it has 4-congruent sides as well. the reason that a square is a rectangle is because a square fits the description of two parallel sides and 4-right angles. A not all rectangles fit the description of a square because it does not have 4 congruent sides.
