A rectangle may be called a parallelogram but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals.

A parallelogram can be called a rectangle if all four angles are right angles (90 degrees).

A parallelogram can be called a rhombus if all four sides are the same size.

A parallelogram can be called a square if all four angles are right angles and all four sides are the same size
