Rectangles, Rhombi, and Squares
Any four-sided figure is a quadrilateral. But a parallelogram is a special quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel.
The opposite sides of a square are parallel, so a square is a parallelogram.
In addition, the four angles of a square are right angles, and all four sides are equal. A rectangle is also a parallelogram with four right angles, but its four sides are not equal.
Rectangles, rhombi, and squares have all of the properties of parallelograms. In addition, they have their own properties.
