Answer:

False

A square is a quadrilateral with four right angles, two sets of parallel lines, and equal sides.

A rectangle is not equilateral, so it is not a square. Squares are rectangles, actually.

So, False

Hope that helps!

Answer:

False, but can be true

Explanation:

Rule for being a square.

1. All sides have to be congruent in length

2. Must have all 90°

3. has 4 sides and 4 angles (has to be a quadrilateral)

4. 2 pairs of parallel lines

A rectangle is not a square directly. It does not have congruent sides. Although, this means that a square is a specialized case of the rectangle. It will only be a square if all sides are congruent.
