Question

Which statement is true?

Answer 1

All rectangles are quadrilaterals.

All quadrilaterals are rectangles.

All quadrilaterals are parallelograms.

All quadrilaterals are shares.

Answer 2

All rectangles are quadrilaterals.

Answer 3

Can you help on another..

Answer 4

There's no rectangle that is less/more than 4 sides. Hence, they are all and always quadrilaterals.
Sure, I can.

Answer 5

ohh okay



A square is (blank) a rectangle

Always

sometimes

never

inconclusive (Not enough info)

Answer 6

always

Answer 7

I was kinda thinking never also

Answer 8

Why is it always

Answer 9

You both are wrong.

Answer 10

wait why though do you have an explanation….

Answer 11

Okay. A square must have 4 equal sides. A rectangle has to have four sides, sides parallel from each other must be the same length, which a square exhibits that property. A rectangle must have 90 degree interior angles, which a square does have.

Answer 12

Aside from that, you have told that. Properties of rectangles are:
Opposite sides are parallel and congruent
The diagonals bisect each other
The diagonals are congruent
Square also does have all of these properties.

Answer 13

However a square is a rhombus and a rectangle is not

Answer 14

@annas, though square has all four sides parallel and congruent, still, the two pairs of sides of square are parallel and congruent, right?
@Camibayybee Yes, square is a rhombus since it has 4 equal sides and for equal interior angles. But a rhombus will never be a square since rhombus has oblique angles.

Answer 15

Can you prove?

Answer 16

Lol. That is not true. Square is always a rectangle.

Answer 17

@hartnn , what can you say about this. this hh person don't believe me. >,<

Answer 18

Guys its okay

Answer 19

Just leave it I closed the question

Answer 20

properties of a quadrilateral are subset of properties of a rectangle, thats why we say all rectangles are quadrilateral.

in same way, properties of rectangle are subset of properties of square, so we must conclude, all squares are rectangle :)

Answer 21

its like saying all squares are always rectangles with some more properties.

Answer 22

Then why don't they just call a square a rectangle is its basically the same thing

Answer 23

because of those "extra" properties that square has, its unique. and must be called as square only

Answer 24

Exactly

Answer 25

So therefore A square is not a rectangle

Answer 26

Farewelll

Answer 27

we are NOT discussing what a square can be "called"
we are discussing whether a square has ALL THE PROPERTIES of rectangle or not??
if it has all properties, we can safely conclude that all squares behave like rectangles too

Answer 28

Then why was your friend saying A square is always a rectangle?

Answer 29

If it is only a rectangle sometimes?

Answer 30

But why not

Answer 31

if it does have all the properties of a square???

Answer 32

correction, a rectangle will be a square if its a rhombus too, like when all sides of rectangle are equal.
So a rectangle is SOMETIMES a square, but a square is always a rectangle.

Answer 33

No no no

Answer 34

A rect does NOT have all properties of square.
so its sometimes square (when all sides equal)

A square always has all properties of rect.
so its always a rect

Answer 35

But a square has sides that are equal

Answer 36

unlike a rectangle

Answer 37

that makes rectangle NOT square.
that doesn't make square NOT rectangle.

still that square has all properties of rect.

Answer 38

"a square has sides that are equal" which makes some rectangles as NOT squares.

Answer 39

That doesn't make sense!!!!!!!

Answer 40

A square is not a rectangle

Answer 41

As I said If a square was a rectangle then it should be called a rectangle

Answer 42

sorry if i am confusing you.
take a square , any square, ask it whether its a rectangle or not.

it will check its properties, if it has all properties of rect, then it will reply yes, i am rect.

Answer 43

and if there is even 1 property of rectangle that the square does not possess, then it will reply no, i am not rect.

Answer 44

The square said it is not a rectangle

Answer 45

o your completely wrong

Answer 46

then ask that square which property a rectangle has and you don't have ?

Answer 47

Is a square a rhombus?

Answer 48

are you human? always, sometimes, never.

Answer 49

are all humans Camibayybee ?

Answer 50

Yes it is

Answer 51

Is a rectangle a rhombus?

Answer 52

No

Answer 53

ofcourse, a square is rhombus too

Answer 54

a rectangle is sometimes rhombus
only when all sides of rect are equal

Answer 55

But thats not a rectangle thats a square

Answer 56

and only in those cases, that rect will be a square too

Answer 57

thats why we say rect is SOMETIMES SQUARE

Answer 58

a rectangle cannot be a rhombus A square can It is either one or the other

Answer 59

a rect can NEVER be rhombus <<<<<FALSE
a rect can be sometimes rhombus

Answer 60

A square has equal sides a rect only has 2 sides equal

Answer 61

correct.
that square still have 2 equal sides, so its still a rect

Answer 62

but where are the other sides that are different length

Answer 63

o thats cause its a square

Answer 64

can you give me example of one square which is NOT a rectangle ?

Answer 65

we know, let her think

Answer 66

A square

Answer 67

similar example, are you human ??
you will check whether you have all properties of human,
if yes, you'll say , yes i am human

Answer 68

are all humans Camibayybee ?

humans will check when can they not be Camibayybee,
they will reply, we are sometimes Camibayybee , because there are many humans not Camibayybee.

Answer 69

clear any doubt which you still have in mind. :)

Answer 70

Acctually you are wrong

Answer 71

As you can see here

Answer 72

2300 years ago a square was NEVER a rectangle (oblong)

Answer 73

that didn't say, a square is not oblong.

Answer 74

??

Answer 75

that paper just listed the properties.
it never explicitly mentions whether a square is an oblong or not

Answer 76

And a square isn't actually "a special kind of rectangle"

Answer 77

because as you can see a square has 90degree angles and a rhombus does not

Answer 78

a square IS a special kind of rect.
with the speciality of all sides being equal

Answer 79

Omgggg But look understand that a rectangle doesn't have equal sides

Answer 80

A square was made just to be a square

Answer 81

yes, a rect. does not have equal sides.
but a square has all properties of a rect., so its a rect.

Answer 82

That is why they made a square and a rectangle and you cannot say a square is a special kind waterer because it was never a rhombus in the first place

Answer 83

do you see where I'm coming from

Answer 84

A square is only a square a rhombus is only a rhombus a rectangle is only a rectangle

Answer 85

why to bring rhombus in the discussion ?

Answer 86

its like saying humans are only humans and Camibayybee can never be human :(

Answer 87

Because you are saying a a square is a special kind of shape

Answer 88

a rhombus is sometimes a square.
a square is always a rhombus.

Answer 89

NOOOOOOO

Answer 90

Because a rhombus does NOT have 90 degree angles

Answer 91

so how is it a rhombus?

Answer 92

a rhombus is sometimes a square.(when it has all angles = 90)
a square is always a rhombus.(because it has all properties of rhombus)

Answer 93

Youu see what I'm saying look, Lisennnn READ

Answer 94

i am sorry if i irritate you, i am reading all your replies curiously.
"Because a rhombus does NOT have 90 degree angles"
that is why some rhombus cannot be square, but that does not mean a square cannot be rhombus.

you're stil not following my rule, if x has all properties of y, then x is y.

Answer 95

if you have all properties of human, then you are human.

Answer 96

A square is not a special shape because it is not a rhombus yes many is has equal sides like a rhombus but the angles are not 90 degrees therefore a rhombus is a rhombus itself it is its own shape. Now listen a square is not a rectangle because The sides differ. take away the theory of a square being a rhombus. Now you are left with a square and a rectangle. Now a square does have 90 degree sides like a rectangle it is a 4 sided shape (like a rhombus) BUT its sides differ a square has equal sides but a rectangle has only 2 equal sides. So a square is NOT a rectangle because of that fact itself Do you understand
