Do squares and rectangles have 4 sides of equal length?

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


Which shapes have 2 different pairs of equal sides?

parallelograms, and rectangles (parallelograms)


Do two rectangles always have the same shape?

A rectangle is defined as having two pairs of equal-length sides. Therefore, theoretically the answer is yes.


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.


Which statements about squares and rectangles are true?

The statements:It is a quadrilateral (a shape with 4 sides)It has two pairs of opposite sides equal of equal length which are parallelAll angles are equal at 90°The diagonals are equal in length and bisectall squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squaresare all true about squares and rectangles


Does a square have 2 pairs of opposite sides that are parallel?

Yes, but so do rectangles, rhomboids (tipped rectangles), and rhombi. In the square, the sides are all equal, and all angles are right angles.


Are rectangles always squares?

No. Although squares are always rectangles, rectangles are not always squares. A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. Rectangles must only have four right angles.


Are all rectangles squares?

No. A square must be a rectangle, but a rectangle does not have to be a square.A square is a rectangle that has four sides of equal length.--A rectangle MUST have the following:Four sidesFour angles that are right angles (90 degrees), so that the total is 360 degrees.Two pairs of parallel sidesTwo pairs of equal sidesA square MUST have the following:Four sides (All must be the same length)Four angles(Must all be 90 degrees)Two pairs of parallel sidesBecause of that not all rectangles are squares but all squares are rectangles.---Rectangles are parallelograms with all right angles, and opposite sides are congruent. Squares are parallelograms with all right angles, and ALL sides congruent. Therefore, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.False! squares have 4 equal sides and rectangles don't they only have 2 equal sides. Some rectangles are squares, but not all of them. On the other hand, all squares are rectangles.


What kind of polygon has 2 pairs of equal sides but is not a parallelogram?

A kite or a trapezoid.(Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares AREparallelograms.)


Why are squares rectangles but not all rectangles are squares?

A rectangle has four sides and four right-angled corners.A square has four sides and four right-angled corners andhas all sides of equal length.A rectangle is defined as having:Four sides;All angles equal at 90°;Two pairs of opposite sides of equal length.A square is defined as having:Four sides;All angles equal at 90°;All four sides of equal length.The first two properties are common to both the square and rectangle.The third property differs:For a square all sides are of equal length. They can be divided into two pairs of opposite sides of equal length, which is the third property of the rectangle. Thus all squares are rectangles.For a rectangle, having two pairs of opposite sides of equal length means that the two pairs can have different lengths (as long as the sides in each pair are the same length). The two sets may have the same length, in which case the rectangle is a square, but if the two sets have different lengths then all four sides do not all have the same length, and so are not squares. Thus not all rectangles are squares.Squares form a proper subset of the rectangles (squares ⊂ rectangles) where the two sets of pairs of opposite sides have equal length (ie all four sides are of equal length).


What is a rectangle but not a parallelogram?

A parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides that are equal in length and parallel. A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides that are equal in length and are parallel. Thus all rectangles are parallelograms. (A rectangle has the extra condition that all its angles are equal at 90°, thus all parallelograms are not rectangles.) There cannot be a rectangle that is not a parallelogram.


Why rectangles can't be squares?

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