What is it called when a square is a rectangle but a rectangle cant be a square?
it means that a square is not a rectangle
Why a square can be a rectangle but a rectangle can never be a square?
A square can be a rectangle because a rectangle just has to have four sides and they all have to have right angles, which a square does. But a rectangle can never be a square because a square HAS to have ALL EVEN sides with all right angles. A rectangle possibly could not have all even sides.
What 4 sided shape with 2 parallel sides is called?

Can squares be called rectangles?
A rectangle is a shape with 4 sides and for right angles. A rectangle can be called a square. A square, on the other hand, has 4 EQUAL sides and 4 right angles. Therefore, a square cannot be called a rectangle since the rectangle has UNEQUAL sides.
Can you construct a rectangle with all sides equal?
Sure. It's called a "square"; you can consider the square a special case of a rectangle.
