All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Basically, a square is a rectangle where all sides are the same length.
However, providing that the width is half of the length, or vice versa, and you join the two rectangles along the one of the sides that is longer, two rectangles can make a square.
Example: 1x2 rectangle joined with another 1x2 rectangle will make a 2x2 square.

Are all rectangles squares why or why not?
No. All rectangles are not square because 2 of the sides are longer while the square's side is all the same size.
Do quadrilaterals that have 2 lines of symmetry?
Parallelogram (if it is a rectangle), Rectangles and Rhombuses (if they are not also a square)
Why are some rectangles squares?
All squares are rectangles also, but not all rectangles are squares, only equilateral rectangles are considered square.
How many rectangles in a 4 by 4 square?
Oh, dude, like, there are 10 rectangles in a 4 by 4 square. You got your big rectangle, then you got 4 rectangles that are 3 by 2, and then you got 5 little 1 by 1 squares. So, yeah, that's like 10 rectangles in total.
What is the smallest possible number of whole 2-by-3 non-overlapping rectangles needed to cover a square region exactly without extra over-hangs and without gaps?
