a rectangle is a plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles. A square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles.

therefore, because a square has 4 straight sides with 4 right angles, it is a rectangle.

and a rectangle can have unequal adjacent sides, so it is not always a square
