A square is a special type of rectangle that not only has four right angles but also has all four sides of equal length. Therefore, every square is a rectangle because it meets the definition of having four right angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the reverse is not true. While every square is a rectangle, not all rectangles are squares. For a rectangle to be a square, all its sides must be of equal length. Rectangles can have different side lengths, so a rectangle with unequal sides is not a square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at the other options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All quadrilaterals are rectangles:<\/strong> This is false. A quadrilateral is any four-sided polygon, and it can take many forms. While rectangles are quadrilaterals, not all quadrilaterals have four right angles, as required for a rectangle. For example, a trapezoid or a rhombus is a quadrilateral but not a rectangle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All parallelograms are rectangles:<\/strong> This is false. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where opposite sides are parallel, but the angles are not necessarily 90 degrees. Rectangles are a specific type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles. Not all parallelograms have this property. For example, a rhombus is a parallelogram but not a rectangle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All rectangles are squares:<\/strong> This is false. While all squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares. A rectangle can have unequal adjacent sides, which would disqualify it from being a square.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the correct answer is that all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which statement is true?
