When is a rectangle a square?

A rectangle is a square when all of its sides are the same length.A rectangle is SOMETIMES a square.However, a square, is ALWAYS a rectangle.This is due to the properties held by a rectangle as well as properties of a square.Properties of Rectangle:Opposite sides are congruent.All angles are 90o.Opposite sides are parallel.Opposite central angles created by the diagonals are congruent.All diagonals are congruent.Properties of a Square:All sides are congruent.All angles are 90o.Opposite sides are congruent.Opposite sides are parallel.Diagonals intersect at a 90o angle.All diagonals are congruent.So one can have a square that is always a rectangle due to the properties. However, a rectangle will only be a square if properties are the same as a square.SometimesWhen all of its sides are exactly the same length.
