A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles. A square has four right angles and four equal sides. Since a square meets all the criteria of a rectangle (four right angles), every square is also a rectangle. However, not all rectangles are squares because rectangles do not require all sides to be equal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All rhombuses are squares.<\/strong><br>This statement is false. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length, but its angles are not necessarily right angles. For a rhombus to be a square, it must have four equal sides and four right angles. Therefore, while every square is a rhombus because it has equal sides, not every rhombus is a square. Many rhombuses have angles that are not 90 degrees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All squares are parallelograms.<\/strong><br>This statement is true. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. Since a square has all four sides equal and opposite sides parallel, it fits the definition of a parallelogram. Therefore, every square is a parallelogram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All rhombuses are parallelograms.<\/strong><br>This statement is true. A rhombus has all four sides equal and opposite sides are parallel. This matches the definition of a parallelogram, which requires opposite sides to be parallel. Hence, every rhombus is a parallelogram.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the key difference lies in angle properties. Squares have all right angles, while rhombuses only require equal side lengths. This makes the statement &#8220;All rhombuses are squares&#8221; false because not all rhombuses have right angles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which statement is false?
