Yes, but a square is not always a rectangle.

NO. a square is defined as "a shape having four equal sides and four right angles", whereas a rectangle is "a shape with 2 pairs of equal sides parallel to each other and four right angles."

So as you can see, they are two completely different shapes.

I would add that a rectangle can have two equal pairs of sides at right angles. While this is a square, it is also a rectangle.
