Wait until you learn what shape a speed square is.

Square means “90 degrees”, so rectangles are square. They’re just not “a” square.

Square has multiple meanings actually.
Your comment makes you sound square, for example.

We square?

We should keep talking about it to square it away

It’s the other way. Squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square.

I didn’t say rectangles are squares, I said rectangles are square.
Square can be an adjective. When you say a rectangle is square, you’re saying all four corners are square. If you make a picture frame in the shape of a oblique parallelogram, it’s not square. If you make it in the shape of a rectangle, it’s square. If you make it in the shape of a square, it is both square and a square.

That’s a weird and confusing language if true.
At least in geometry square is a special case of rectangle.

Can’t you just adjust the aspect ratio or something

The rectangle root

Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it’s a factorization then.

Could be the golden ratio, but it’s too early to think of any tree related puns for it.
