all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. the definition of square says that all sides must be equal, and therefore you can't include the 2x1, 3x1, etc. rectangles. :)

[TheBogzyDude]

A square has equal side lengths. 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4 are not equal side lengths. Therefore, those are rectangles.

[mkworkman]

The CORRECT answer: 4
5 if you count the word "square" as well!

Remember: All squares are also rectangles but not all rectangles are also squares!

4 are 1/2x1/2
1 is the word "square"

61 Rectangles:
8 are ~1/2x1/2
18 are ~1x1
9 are ~2x2
4 are ~3x3
1 is ~4x4
12 are 2x3
8 are 3x4
1 is the meme [border]

In geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four equal sides and four equal angles (90-degree angles, or right angles). It can also be defined as a rectangle in which two adjacent sides have equal length.

9+2=11. 9 large 2x2, and 2 small 2x2. He wrote it down for you.

I have a question. What is the name of you subscriber army? Examples: Swifters, Bros.

[TheHairydanny]

I didn't realize he counted overlapping

[thomasjbrablec]

I'm happy I finally got something right.

[MelonSquares]

Aren't the shapes around the small 1x1 hexagons? I mean they're cut off by the small 1x1 squares

[Talesfan]

a square is a type of rectangle, but a rectangle is no type of square

[bellpeppers]

Did your geometry teacher come after you and hit you with a protractor for typing that?

[olafhansenolaf]

Wauw dude, how old are you? We just have 3 words for squares, a word that covers both types (Which I thought were squares on english), a word that covers (apparently) squares and rectangles.

[smoshfan]

I have that sonic shirt from the intro.

[viny]

why aren't the 2x2 squares overlapping, just like the 3x3 squares. so there are more

[glugey]

[geographyihate]

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

[olafhansenolaf]

Sorry dude, in Denmark when we use the word "squares" it is for rectangles and squares of same length. And another time, try answer more mature please.

[lostincyberspaceIII]

they are if you take the time to draw them all out they over lap. he just puts the dots in the center and they goes out one unit in all directions from the dot. I missed the three by three ones my self.

[olafhansenolaf]

OK, did not know it didn't cover rectangles, it does in Denmark (Well the word square does).
