The definition of a square is a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles. The definition of a rectangle is a plane figure with four right sides and four right angles. To be a rectangle you just need four straight sides and four right angles, but to be a square all those sides have to be equal. Therefore, a square is a rectangle because it has four straight sides and four right angles, but a rectangle isn't a square (or not always) because it doesn't have four equal straight sides.

Beacuse  <span>A square by definition is a "plane figure having four equal sides." Rectangles' sides are not equal and hence cannot be a square. 

A rectangle by definition is a "four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles" - which also implies that a square can be a rectangle because it is also a four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles...... hope this helps</span>

What is the value of X?
Troyanec [42]

All three sides of the triangle are the same so youcan set two of the equations equal to each other and solve for x:


4x-10 = 3x +2

Add 10 to each side:

4x = 3x + 12

Subtract 3x from each side:

x = 12

Larry says 5 × 900 is less than 5 × 9,000. Doni says 5 × 900 is greater than 5 × 9,000. Which statements about the two products
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Larry's statement is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Larry says 5 × 900 is less than 5 × 9,000.

Doni says 5 × 900 is greater than 5 × 9,000.

5 × 900 = 4500

5 × 9000 = 45,000

45,000 is greater than 4500 because the place value of 45,000 is tens thousands and 4500 is Thousands.

Hence, Larry's statement is correct.(Larry says 5 × 900 is less than 5 × 9,000.)
