The major difference between square and rectangle is that a square has all its sides equal whereas a rectangle has its opposite sides equal. In Geometry, we have learnt different types of shapes such as square, rectangle, cube, cone, cylinder, parallelogram, rhombus, and so on.
Definition of Square and Rectangle Square: A square is a closed two-dimensional plane figure with four sides. All the four sides of the square are of equal measure. Also, the four interior angles of a quadrilateral are of 9o degrees. In other words, a square is considered as a quadrilateral or a 4-sided polygon. Since all the angles are of equal measure, it is considered as an equiangular quadrilateral.
Rectangle: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides. The opposite side of a rectangle is parallel to each other. It means that the opposite faces of the rectangle are of equal measure. A rectangle has four angles, each measuring about 90 degrees. As like square, a rectangle is also called an equiangular quadrilateral.
