A rectangle must have four congruent angles that all measure 90 degrees. It must also have four sides, and the opposite sides must be congruent.

All angles are congruent.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360.
Since all angles are congruent, then each angle must measure 360/4 = 90.
Every angle measures 90 degrees.
The quadrilateral must be a rectangle.
Is the quadrilateral also a square?
We are told "opposite sides that are congruent." Since only opposites sides are congruent, and not all sides are congruent, then it is a rectangle, but not necessarily a square.

Answer: B. rectangle
