    Squares
    Hi,

    My child asked me if a rectangle is a square. It seems to meet the definition. Is it?

    Thanks

    No- A square has 4 equal sides and a rectangle does not.

    A rectangle is not necessarily a square, but a square is always a rectangle.
    • A rectangle has four sides and four 90 degree angles. The opposite sides are of equal length.
    • A square fit this definition, and adds that all sides are of equal length.
