By definition a rectangle is a four-sided figure whose opposite sides are equal in length and corners are right angles. The definition doesn't say anything about the lengths of adjacent sides, though.
A square has the same definition as a rectangle with the added criterion that adjacent sides are also equal in length. That means a square is a more-specific type of rectangle.

All rectangles are squares?
No but all squares are a rectangles
Are all squares retangles?
No, rectangles are not squares
Why are rectangles squares?
Rectangles are not squares. The reason to this is because squares must have sides of equal lengths. Rectangles are quadrilaterals with sides that join to make 90 degree angles, but are not restricted to having the same length. Therefore "all squares are rectangles", but rectangles cannot be squares.
Why are some rectangles not squares?
squares are rectangles because they are both four sided but rectangles are not squares because a rectangle doesn't have equal sides and squares have equal sides
