Definition
A square is a four-sided polygon with all sides equal and all angles right angles.
Description
Squares are fundamental in geometry, used to study properties of shapes, symmetry, and area calculations. The area of a square is calculated using the formula
A = s2
where s is the length of a side. Squares are widely used in design, architecture, and engineering due to their structural stability and aesthetic appeal. Understanding squares helps in solving problems related to symmetry, tessellations, and geometric transformations.
