Nope. The equation for finding the length of a square's (or right triangle's) diagonal is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. For instance, if a right triangle had one leg (a) with the length of 3, and another leg (b) with the length of 4, the diagonal would have a length of 5.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

25 = c^2

5 = c

Do squares and rectangles have 4 sides of equal length?

Well, squares do have equal sides but rectangles have two pairs of equal sides


Why rectangles can't be squares?

One of the properties of squares is four equal sides. Rectangles don't have equal sides


Which quadrilaterals have diagnals that bisect each other perpendicularly?

squares


Why are some rectangles not squares?

squares are rectangles because they are both four sided but rectangles are not squares because a rectangle doesn't have equal sides and squares have equal sides


How are squares alike?

they both have equal sides.


Are opposite sides equal in squares?

yes


What are the differences of squares and rectangles?

Squares have four equal sides and equal angles, rectangles only have two.


What shape is a square but not a parelellogram?

No shape is a square but not a parallelogram as all squares are parallelograms: All parallelograms have opposite sides parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal. All squares have opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length, and opposite angles are equal; thus all squares are parallelograms. However, all squares also have all angles equal to 90o and all four sides equal, but some parallelograms have angles not all 90o and/or not all four sides of equal length; thus not all parallelograms are squares.


Is a sqare always a rectangle?

no, but a square is always a rectangle. You see, squares have 4 equal sides. Rectangles don't HAVE to have 4 equal sides, but one side is equal to the opposite. So, all squares are rectangles, but not are rectangles are squares.
