Describe why a square is always a rhombus but a rhombus is not always a square?
A rhombus is a polygon with four equal sides. A square is a polygon with four equal sides and four right angles. A rhombus cannot always be a square because many shapes have four equal sides.
Has every four sided shape have right angles in?
No. For example a parallelogram does not have any right angles. The internal angles of all four sided shapes will always equal 360 degrees, but do not necessarily have to include right angles.
Do irregular shapes have equal angles?
They can have some (or all) equal angles. A rectangle, for example, has all four angles equal but, because its sides are not the same measure, it is not a regular shape.
Does a parallelogram always have four sides?
Yes, and its opposite sides are always equal and its opposite angles are always equal. The angles and the sides can be any size.
What is the difference between a square and a diamond?
A square must have all four angles equal (at 90o) whereas in a diamond only the opposite angles are equal. A square is a diamond with all four angles right angles.
Is a squares always a rectangle?
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.

What rule that states what kinds of quadrilaterals always have four equal angles?
If a quadrilateral has four equal angles, then it is also a rectangle. It can also be a square if it has equal sides as well.
Does a rectangle always have angles that are equal?
Yes, a rectangle has four angles of 90 degrees each.
Are rectangles always squares?
No. Although squares are always rectangles, rectangles are not always squares. A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. Rectangles must only have four right angles.
Which quadrilateral always has four right angles and all sides are equal?
A square
Does a rectangle have four equal sides and four right angles?
four equal angles
