Square
- Square (a two-dimensional figure) is a quadrilateral with four equal side lengths and 90° interior angles.
- Abbreviated as SQ
- Circumcircle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
- Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
- Inscribed circle is the largest circle possible that can fit on the inside of a two-dimensional figure.
- Polygon (a two-dimensional figure) is a closed plane figure for which all edges are line segments and not necessarly congruent.
- Quadrilateral (a two-dimensional figure) is a polygon with four sides.
- a ∥ c
- b ∥ d
- a = b = c = d
- ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 360°
- 4 interior angles are 90°
- 2 diagonals
- 4 edges
- 4 vertex
