Can 2 rectangles make a square?

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Basically, a square is a rectangle where all sides are the same length. However, providing that the width is half of the length, or vice versa, and you join the two rectangles along the one of the sides that is longer, two rectangles can make a square. Example: 1x2 rectangle joined with another 1x2 rectangle will make a 2x2 square.

How many rectangles can you make out of 40 squares?

All numbers equal to or less than 40.Very many:(One 40 *1 rectangle, two rectangles in 20 ways, three rectangles in a whole bunch of ways , etc) If all the squares are to be used and the rectangles are outlines (not filled) then five19 * 317 * 515 * 713 * 911 * 11If all the squares are to make a single unbroken and completely filled rectangle and the orientation of the rectangle does not matter then you can make four:40*120*210*48*5

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.

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.
