Each angle of a rectangle is equal to the angle opposite.
Not necessarily. In fact, if a rectangle and parallelogram have the same base and height, their areas are equal.
The rectangle is in fact a square with 4 equal sides of 5 units in length.
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus, as a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. However, if all sides are congruent, and it has right angles, it is a square and therefore not a rectangle. So, the answer is no, although it may be argued to be yes. Wikipedia, in fact, mentions that a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus; the definition of rectangle there is a quadrilateral with four right angles, thereby not excluding the special case of a rectangular rhombus, or a square. A rhombus is not normally a square but it could be.
Your phrasing was a bit confusing, so I'll reword: Is a square a rectangle? Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: To be a rectangle, the following conditions must be satisfied: * Four Sides (Quadrilateral) * All sides are perpendicular (90 Degrees) * Opposite Sides are Parallel Since a square meets all of these conditions, it is, in fact, a type of rectangle.
