They are polygons (shapes), and more specifically,

They are quadrilaterals (4-sided shapes), and

They are parallelograms (having 2 pairs of parallel sides).

*A square may be classified as a rectangle, but ordinarily a rectangle is defined as having 4 angles of equal size, and 2 pairs of sides of equal length. A square is an equilateral parallelogram.

Why are rectangles squares?

Rectangles are not squares. The reason to this is because squares must have sides of equal lengths. Rectangles are quadrilaterals with sides that join to make 90 degree angles, but are not restricted to having the same length. Therefore "all squares are rectangles", but rectangles cannot be squares.

Why can all squares be classified as parallelograms but not all parallelograms can be classified as squares?

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel. Squares and rectangles are two examples of parallelograms. A square is a four-sided figure that has four equal sides, and opposite sides are parallel.


Are all squares classified as rectangles?

Yes, but not all rectangles are classed as squares. A square is unique in having all the sides the same length and all the corners 90 degrees. A rectangle has opposite sides of equal length and all the corners 90 degrees.
