Best Answer

All squares are rectangles, but all rectangles are not squares. This answer can differ depending what level of math you're currently taking, once you get more advanced this answer is subject to change. But by one definition - that a rectangle is a shape with at least two opposite, equal sides and four right angles - a square can be defined as a rectangle. What makes it a square and not just a normal rectangle is that both pairs of opposite side are equal, which makes it more an individual, unique shape. Confusing, I know, but I think the answer you're looking for is the one I gave in the first sentence. Hope it helps.
