Yes. The definition of a rectangle is: has 4 sides, all right angles, and opposite sides are equal. A square fits that definition.
But in retrospect a rectangle is NOT a square. Because all sides are not equal.

You are mixed up ! All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four congruent angles. A square is a parallelogram with four congruent angles and four congruent sides. A square is also a rhombus. Look at properies of quadrilaterals in your text book. QED

Yes. A square is a special rectangle that has all its sides equal. A rectangle is in turn, a special parallelogram that has all of its angles equal to right angles. A parallelogram is a special quadrilateral that has its opposite sides parallel. A quadrilateral is a closed figure with four sides made up of straight line segments.
