Squares
1. Four congruent angles2. Four congruent sides
Squares are geometric shapes with straight sides of equal length and four corners that form right angles. In other words, squares are quadrilaterals that have sides of equal length and all four corners form a 90-degree angle.
The properties of squares include:
1. All sides of a square are equal in length, so the opposite sides are parallel.
2. All angles in a square are right angles or 90 degrees.
3. The diagonals of a square are equal in length, and they bisect each other at right angles.
4. The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself; that is, A = s² (where A is the area and s is the length of one side).
5. The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides; that is, P = 4s (where P is the perimeter and s is the length of one side).
Squares are often used in mathematics and engineering as basic building blocks in various geometric and trigonometric calculations. They are also used in many real-life applications such as tiles, flooring, and building construction.
