How is a square different from a rectangle?

In a square, all 4 sides are of equal measure. In a rectangle that is not a square, the two pairs of opposite sides will be of unequal length. Note that a square is a special case of a rectangle, so care should be given in considering the difference.

a square has four lines of symmetry and a rectangle has two.

The main difference (not "different") is that all four sides of a square are of the same length whereas a rectangle has two pair of equal and opposite sides.
