No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.
There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.

How do you cut a 9 by 4 rectangle into a 6 by 6 square?
Well, darling, you can't magically turn a rectangle into a square just by cutting it. But if you want to make a 6 by 6 square using that 9 by 4 rectangle, you'll have to trim off some excess. Cut the rectangle into a 6 by 4 and a 3 by 4 piece, then rearrange the pieces to form a 6 by 6 square. Voila!
