Best Answer

Rectangles have four right angles so, yes, all squares are rectangles because they also have four right-angled corners.

However, rectangles can have sides of any length, as long as the opposite sides are of equal length, whereas a square has all four sides of equal length.

A more technical reply could be that a rectangle has two pairs of congruent and parallel sides, which all squares have.

Are all squares rectangles but not all rectangles squares?

Yes, all Squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares because it needs to have all equal sides.


How can a square be a rectangle?

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. The definition of a rectangle is a 4 sided figure with 4 right angles. So all squares are rectangles.


Why are some rectangles squares?

All squares are rectangles also, but not all rectangles are squares, only equilateral rectangles are considered square.


All squares are rectangles true or false?

True. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Are all rectangles are parallelograms?

Yes they are. So are all squares and rhombuseses.


All squares are rectangles.?

Yes, but all rectangles are not square


Can a parallelogram be a rectangle and a square?

the three special quadrilaterals that can be a parallelogram are a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus Actually, this is incorrect. All squares are rectangles. All rectangles are parallelograms. Therefore all squares are parallelograms. But not all parallelograms are rectangles. And not all rectangles are squares.


Is every rectangle also a square?

Yes all squares meet the requirements of a rectangle. They are equiangular quadrilaterals (have 4 equal angles) and have two pairs of opposite parallel sides. Squares are a subset of all equilateral rectangles. Thus, all squares are rectangles, but only some rectangles are squares.Yes all squares are rectangles because they have four equal angles and two pairs of opposite parallel sides. Not all rectangles are squares however, because only some of them are equilateral.


How come not all rectangles are squares?

The characteristics for a rectangle is that it has to have 4 right angles and 2 pairs of congruent and parallel sides. Squares have to meet these requirements and also have to have all sides congruent. All rectangles meet to the rectangle's standard, but not all of them meet up to a square's standard. Therefore, not all rectangles are squares. Or, in a more simplified version: squares are a type of rectangle, but rectangles are not a type of squares, therefore not all rectangles are squares.


What has four right angles?

A rectangle. A square is a form of rectangle. (All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.) ___________ |__________|
