Oh, c'mon now. Next thing you'll be telling us that a square is a
rhombus, or a trapezoid.
While all 4 corners of both a square and a rectangle must be 90 degrees, the
commonly accepted (preferred) definition states that a rectangle has adjacent
sides of UNequal length.
I think it's really stretching it to call a square a rectangle, since a square's
sides MUST be of equal length.
I'm in favor of differentiating the two.
I mean, if I was asked... :-D
