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.

No. All rectangles are not square because 2 of the sides are longer while the square's side is all the same size.

How many different rectangles with an area of 32 square units can you make?

To find the different rectangles with an area of 32 square units, we need to consider the factor pairs of 32. The pairs are (1, 32), (2, 16), (4, 8), and their reverses, giving us the dimensions of the rectangles: 1x32, 2x16, 4x8, and 8x4. However, since the order of dimensions does not create a new rectangle, we have four unique rectangles: 1x32, 2x16, and 4x8. Thus, there are three distinct rectangles with an area of 32 square units.
