Is the following biconditional statement true.........?

Question: A figure that is a rectangle is a sqaure (Please Provide An Explanation)

Answer: No. In geometry, a rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral where all four of its angles are right angles. From this definition, it follows that a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides; that is, a rectangle is a parallelogram. A square is a special kind of rectangle where all four sides have equal length; that is, a square is both a rectangle and a rhombus. A rectangle that is not a square is colloquially known as an oblong.
