Squares are also known as rectangles. They are a special case of a rectangle because all four sides are congruent. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles have to be squares.

Squares can also be classified as a quadrilateral because they have 4 sides. A quadrilateral is defined as a four sided polygon.

Squares are also known as parallelograms, since each set of opposite sides are parallel.

The most general category for a square would be a polygon. A square is one particular example of a polygon.

I hope that helps!
