Why is a square both a rhombus and a rectangle?
A square is a rectangle. A square is a rectangle with equal sides. A rectangle Has to have 4 right angles (and only 4 corners). A Square has the same definition (4 right angles, and only 4 corners) but all the sides have to be equal. A square is not a rhombus. A rhombus is a parallelogram with equal sides. A parallelogram has to have 4 sides (2 pairs of equal sides.) The equal sides must be parallel. A rhombus has the same definition (4 sides - 2 pairs of equal sides. The equal sides must be parallel.) but all the sides have to be equal lengths.
Is a square a rectangle and is a rectangle a square?
A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square. A square can be thought of as a "special" rectangle, where all sides are equal. The similarity is that all rectangles have 4 angles each of 90o However a Square has 4 sides equal length while a Rectangle has 4 sides with opposite sides of equal length. The clever observer will note that the adjacent sides of a square are equal while the adjacent sides of a rectangle may or may not be equal. yes it is
Rectangle with 4 equal sides?
it is a square
Does a rectangle have 4 equal sides and it's opposite sides are parallel and has no right angle?
a rectangle does not have four equal sides and its opposite sides are equal and has four right angles
Why can a square be a rectangle but a rectangle cant be a square?
there are 4 equal sides on a square/4 nonequivalent sides on a rectangle.4= a square. 4 right angles on both quadrilaterals.4+4=8 sense 4sides both are equal a square is a squeezed outout rectangle. a rectangle is a stretched out square.squared = a square
