A rectangle is a square but a square is not a rectangle: TRUE or FALSE?

The rectangle and square are two-dimensional quadrilaterals with lots of similarities.

Answer: A rectangle is a square but a square is not a rectangle is a false statement.

Let's explore the properties of a square and a rectangle.

Explanation:

A square is a special type of rectangle because it has all the properties of a rectangle.

Similar to a rectangle, a square has:

• interior angles which measure 90^∘ each.
• opposite sides that are parallel and equal.
• two diagonals that bisect each other and are equal.

A square is called a special kind of rectangle because it has some additional properties which do not apply to rectangles. They are: 

• All four sides of a square are equal.
• Diagonals of a square bisect each at right angles. 

Thus, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
