Explanation:

Define a square and a rhombus

A square is defined as a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles. A rhombus is defined as a quadrilateral with four equal sides.

Compare the definitions

Since every square has four equal sides by definition, every square satisfies the definition of a rhombus. Therefore, if a quadrilateral is a square, it must be a rhombus.
