The most precise name for a shape that is both a rectangle and a rhombus is a square. A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles, meeting the criteria of both a rectangle (opposite sides are equal and parallel, and angles are right angles) and a rhombus (all sides are equal). Therefore, a square is the most specific term to describe a shape that is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
