The above answer does not address the question that was asked.
Technically, squares are a proper subset of rectangles. In that respect, any square is a rectangle as well and so the answer to the question is yes. However, if considering squares and non-square rectangles, the answer is no.
The previous answer is not correct, however. A rectangle is NOT any 4 sided 2 shape. A rectangle must have four right angles and two pairs of equal opposite sides.

the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
yes
A square.
No, any shape with four sides and same perimeter will always be a square.
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
