Keegan says that a quadrilateral is a square if and only if it is a rectangle. Is this a true biconditional statement? chooses: 1) Yes, because all squares are rectangles. 2 )Yes, because all rectangles are squares. 3) No, because all squares are not rectangles. 4) No, because all rectangles are not squares.

OpenStudy (faiqraees):
