Untangle the Rectangle
Is a rectangle a square and why or why not?
No, because a rectangle does not have 4 equal sides.
Draw a parallelogram.
Example...
Is a square a rectangle and why or why not?
Yes, because in order to be a rectangle it simply has to have 4 right angles resulting in 2 sets of parallel sides.
