If (two) sides of square ABCD are extended to form a rectangle, then two vertices of the rectangle will be vertices of the square.

But the statement of the problem shows only one vertex of the square is a vertex of the rectangle.

Any way I can interpret the problem, the statement of the problem is faulty.
