A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides have equal length. Both squares and rectangles are quadrilaterals with four right angles. The main difference is that while a rectangle has opposite sides equal a square has all sides of the same length.
In Class 6 Maths Chapter 8 on Playing with Constructions students explore different geometric constructions using a compass and ruler. They learn to construct angles bisectors perpendicular bisectors and various types of triangles. The chapter also covers practical activities to understand the properties of different shapes and improve construction skills.

Both squares and rectangles have four right angles (each = 90°) and opposite sides that are equal. For a rectangle with sides L and W, we have:
L₁ = L₃ and L₂ = L₄ (1)
Since a square is a rectangle with all sides equal, it also satisfies (1) along with having all right angles. Thus, the property true for both squares and rectangles is that opposite sides are equal and all angles are 90°.
