A square will have four equal sides, and four equal angles. It is a type of rectangle.
Aparallelogram, which is also a type of a rectangle, can also have four equal sides, but not four equal angles. In this particular case, it's called a Rhombus.
(Parallelograms look like slanted rectangles)
The answer to your question is:
Squares and Rhombi (plural for Rhombus) have four equal sides of equal magnitude.

MaxineIt can be either a square or a rhombus.
In both cases the four sides are all of equal length.
However, in a square the four angles are all 90 degrees.

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
If a quadrilateral is a rectangle then it is a equilateral?
Not necissarily. Quadrilateral simply says it has 4 sides. A rectangle has perpendicular sides. Equilateral means that the sides are of equal length (like a square, which is a special case rectangle)
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.
Rectangle with 4 equal sides?
