Solution

(a) A square is a quadrilateral because it has four sides. The term "quadrilateral" is a general term used to describe all four-sided figures.

(b) A square is a parallelogram because it has two pairs of parallel sides. This is one of the defining characteristics of parallelograms.

(c) A square is a rhombus because all of its sides are of equal length. This is the defining characteristic of a rhombus.

(d) A square is a rectangle because it has four right angles. This is the defining characteristic of a rectangle. However, not all rectangles are squares as rectangles can have sides of different lengths.
