Answer 1

Rectangles

Squares

A square is a special type of rectangle. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. In a square, all four sides are equal in length (congruent), making it a special case of a rectangle where all angles are right angles and all four sides have the same length. In contrast, a rectangle can have sides of different lengths.
