(a) They are both quadrilaterals with two sets of congruent sides.

(b) A square has 1 set of congruent sides and that includes all 4 sides. A rectangle has 2 sets of congruent sides, 1 for the length sides, and 1 for the width sides.

(c). They both have two sets of parallel sides.

(d). A rhombi has 4 equal sides, while a parallelogram has 2 equal lengths and 2 equal widths.
