All four sides of a rectangle have to be right angles. Squares are considered rectangles, so if you have a rhombus that is a square, you have a rectangle, but NOT UNLESS IT IS A SQUARE because that would mean the angles are not 90 degrees, and the rhombus must have equal sides.

It can. The definition of a rhombus is four sides equal in length. The angles need not be the same, so the rhombus can be square (and a rectangle can also be a square) or lozonge shaped.

Yes, in this case the rectangle would be a square.
Rhombus = four equal sides
Rectangle = four equivalent angles.
The only quadrilateral that satisfies both conditions is a square.

no because the diagonals of a rhombus are not congruent and the rhombus does not have all right angles like the rectangle.

yes, if it's a square.
a square is both a rhombus and a rectangle. all other types of rhombus are not rectangles.

no but it can be square or a parrelagram and a parrelelagram can be a rectangle but rectangles can't be squares
