You can create rectangles and squares by combining triangles in specific ways. For example, two right triangles can be arranged together along their hypotenuse to form a rectangle. Similarly, four congruent right triangles can be arranged to create a square by placing them around a central point, ensuring their right angles meet at the corners. This method utilizes the properties of triangles to construct larger, symmetrical shapes.
Squares are actually also rectangles so you could make 8 rectangles without touching any of the squares. However, if you could cut the squares, that would be a different problem....
Six - although two of them could be squares.
Squares are equilaterals (same length on every side) Rectangles could be called parallelograms but the parallel lines are the same. It's hard to explain but I could show you. _______________ | | |______________| equal on parallel sides.
A rectangular prism
One shape made of 4 rectangles and 2 squares could be a rectangular arrangement where the two squares are positioned side by side at one end, while the rectangles extend from the other end. Another possibility is a T-shaped figure, where the top bar is formed by the two squares and the vertical bar is made up of the 4 rectangles. These combinations allow for various configurations while adhering to the specified shapes.
You could make 5 rectangles with 10 squares

It has six rectangular faces although two of these could be squares.

yes Sometimes those rectangles could be squares, which are by definition a type of rectangle.
Rectangles have four right angles so, yes, all squares are rectangles because they also have four right-angled corners. However, rectangles can have sides of any length, as long as the opposite sides are of equal length, whereas a square has all four sides of equal length. A more technical reply could be that a rectangle has two pairs of congruent and parallel sides, which all squares have.
Most quadrilaterals. The only exceptions are rectangles (including squares).
There are three pairs of rectangles which might all be of different sizes. There could be only two shapes: four identical rectangles and two squares.
Could it be a hexahedron. A cube has 6 sides and they are squares. A rectangular prism has 6 faces that are rectangles.
