A rectangle has four sides, in two pairs of equal length, and four angles, all of which are right angles.
A square satisfies all of these requirements so a square is a rectangle. In adition, the two pairs of sides of a square are of equal length as well. That makes the square a very special kind of rectangle, but it is still a rectangle.
