Thinking outside the box. Or inside in this case. It is just a play on words. By definition a rectangle is made of of four lines it is not possible. Check out the link below on how you can draw a rectangle with three lines. You will laugh.
There is also another way to do this but by folding paper. Technically you are using two or three lines and folding the paper to create the rectangle.
It is hard to visualize but here are the instructions.
"You can fold a portion of the top of the piece paper down in such a way that the top half is askew with regards to the bottom half (meaning the fold line is not parallel with the top and bottom of the piece of paper). Then you can draw your first line vertically, from top to bottom, such that it runs off the top half of the sheet of paper onto the bottom half of the sheet. The line on the bottom half of the sheet should be a bit longer, in preparation for the next step. Now you must alter your fold so that the top and bottom half are no longer askew, and the fold line is actually parallel with the top and bottom of the sheet of paper. This will move the first line you drew such that it forms the left and right side of your rectangle. At this point it's easy to draw a second line on the top half of the sheet to represent the top of the rectangle, and a third line on the bottom half of the sheet to represent the bottom half of the triangle. This is hard to explain without some sort of picture, but it works."
