Answer:

A square is a rectangle.

Explanation:

A square is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles and all four sides of the same length. So a square is a special kind of rectangle, it is one where all the sides have the same length. Which means, every square is a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles.
