Solution
Given: `square`ABCD is a rectangle.
To prove: `square`ABCD is a parallelogram.
Proof:
`square`ABCD is a rectangle.
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90° ...(angles of rectangle)
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D ...(each angle 90°)
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
∴ `square`ABCD is a parallelogram.
