In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles. Another name is equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°). It can also be defined as a parallelogram containing a right angle. The term oblong is occasionally used to refer to a non-square rectangle. A rectangle with vertices ABCD would be denoted as ABCD.
In geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral. This means that it has four equal sides and four equal angles (90-degree angles, or right angles). It can also be defined as a rectangle in which two adjacent sides have equal length. A square with vertices ABCD would be denoted ABCD.
The square is the n=2 case of the families of n-hypercubes and n-orthoplexes.

A square (a by a) and a rectangle (a by b) can have sides that are of equal length.
What is difference between a square and a rectangle?
A square has 4 equal sides. A rectangle has 2 short sides of equal length and 2 long sides of equal length
When is a rectangle square?
A rectangle is a square when all four of its sides have equal length.
How is a rectangle different from a square?
All four sides of a square are equal in length. Only the opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length. The adjacent sides are different in length.
How is a rectangle not a square?
a rectangle is not a square by a square having parallel sides for all but the rectangle only has one pair of parallel sides * * * * * Actually, a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides - the same as a square. Where they differ is that a rectangle has two pairs of sides of equal length, but each pair is different from the other. In a square, all four sides are of equal length.
