Shapes and Their Relationships

A square is classified as a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four right angles.
A rectangle becomes a square when two consecutive sides are congruent and all angles remain right angles.
A square is also a rhombus due to all four sides being of equal length.
A rhombus qualifies as a square when it contains right angles (90 degrees) or congruent diagonals.
Every square is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.
A parallelogram is a square if all sides are equal, angles are right angles, and the diagonals are congruent and perpendicular.
Every rhombus is categorized as a parallelogram since it has parallel opposite sides.
A parallelogram is a rhombus when all sides are congruent, each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles, and diagonals are perpendicular.
A parallelogram classifies as a rectangle when it has four right angles and congruent diagonals.
A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus if all four sides are equal in length.
A rhombus can occasionally be a rectangle if all angles measure 90 degrees.
Every rectangle is inherently a parallelogram as it has four sides and opposite sides that are parallel.
A rhombus is always a parallelogram due to its parallel sides.
A square is a specific type of kite, specifically an equiangular kite, which has all four angles equal.

Description
