No.
"The lengths of adjacent sides can be different." True for a rectangle, not true for a square.

If you cut a rectangle in half does it make a square?
No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.
Could you call a rhombus a square parallelogram?
No, rhombus refers to its shape, not the fact that is has four equal sides. You could call a rhombus an equilateral parallelogram by why would you want to? Also, would you then call a square a rhombic rectangle?
What is the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units on a coordinate plane?
Assuming that the fact that it is a rectangle means that it cannot be a square, then it can have any value in the interval (0, 20.25) square units. This depends on whether the rectangle is a long thin shape or a near-square.
How do you find the width and length of a rectangle if you only know the diagnol?
If the only known fact is the length of the diagonal then the width and length of the rectangle CANNOT be determined. The diagonal could be that of a square, or of a rectangle that is very long but quite narrow. Consequently at least one more fact is required such as; the dimension of either the length or the width, or the angle that the diagonal makes to the base of the rectangle or even the area of the rectangle.
How do you find the length of a given side if you have lengths of other sides of a rectangle?
By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.By using the fact that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length.
Which quadrilaterals have 4 sides of equal length?
square and a diamond also know as a rhombus and a rectangle technically do to the fact it can be a square
Every Rectangle is a rhombus?
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus, as a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. However, if all sides are congruent, and it has right angles, it is a square and therefore not a rectangle. So, the answer is no, although it may be argued to be yes. Wikipedia, in fact, mentions that a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; the definition of rectangle there is a quadrilateral with four right angles, thereby not excluding the special case of a rectangular rhombus, or a square. A rhombus is not normally a square but it could be.
Any fact that is true for every parallelogram is also true for every square?
Yes. But the fact must be true for EVERY parallelogram.
Is a rectangle and a square a rhombus?
All four sides of a rhombus has to be equal, hence rectangle is not a rhombus. A square is in fact a rhombus with right angles.
Does each diagonal of a rectangle always bisect a pair of opposite angles?
No. In general it does not. Only if the rectangle is, in fact, a square.
How do you draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 25 square units?
The rectangle is in fact a square with 4 equal sides of 5 units in length.
If you cut a rectangle in half does it make a square?
No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.
Is the sum of the opposite angles of a square is 180?
Yes In fact, the sum of ANY 2 angles of a square (or a rectangle) is 180o
B No square is a rectangle?
Your phrasing was a bit confusing, so I'll reword: Is a square a rectangle? Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: To be a rectangle, the following conditions must be satisfied: * Four Sides (Quadrilateral) * All sides are perpendicular (90 Degrees) * Opposite Sides are Parallel Since a square meets all of these conditions, it is, in fact, a type of rectangle.
Is a rhombus acute?
No. Except for the case of a square (a special case of rhombus), a rhombus will have 2 congruent acute angles, and 2 congruent obtuse angles. The square has 4 right angles. In fact, every quadrilateral will have either all 4 angles equal to right angle (square and rectangle), or will have at least 1 obtuse angle (also at least 1 acute).
Could you call a rhombus a square parallelogram?
No, rhombus refers to its shape, not the fact that is has four equal sides. You could call a rhombus an equilateral parallelogram by why would you want to? Also, would you then call a square a rhombic rectangle?
