A rectangle is classed as any quadrilateral with four right angles, whereas a square is classed as a rectangle with all sides the same length.
This being the case, all squares can be called rectangles, not all rectangles can be called squares, as some have sides of different lengths.
Half a square is called a rectangle or a triangle.

They both have parallel lines and they have only 2 sides that match up. Also a square is a rhombus and a rectangle, so a rhombus can be a rectangle, but a rhombus cannot be a square and either can a rectangle.

That is, a quadrilateral with no square corners is not a rectangle or a square. This is because by definition, a rectangle and a square have four square corners, so if a quadrilateral has no square corners, then it cannot be a rectangle or a square.

The square shares both of these qualities, but it also must have 4 congruent (same) sides, which means they must all be the same length. Therefore, a rectangle cannot be a square.
