How Many Sides does a Square have

Q. How many sides does a square have?

Answer: A square has 4 sides of equal length.

A polygon is a closed two-dimensional shape with more than two sides and no two sides crossing each other in Euclidean geometry. Triangle, Quadrilateral, and Pentagon are examples of fundamental polygons.

Regular quadrilateral: A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Rectangle, square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, and other quadrilaterals are examples. A regular quadrilateral is a type of quadrilateral that must have four equal sides, four equal angles, and a diagonal that bisects two other diagonals. The only quadrilateral that meets all of these criteria is the square. 

A square is a plane figure having four equal-length sides and four right angles on each side. The two equal-length diagonals cut each other in half perpendicularly. The square has four symmetry axes.

Formulas derived from sides of a square:

• The total length of a square’s boundary is its perimeter. As a result, the perimeter of a square may be computed by adding all of the sides’ lengths. We must sum up all four sides of a square to find its perimeter because it has four sides. As a result, square Perimeter = (4×Side). It is measured in linear quantities like centimetres, meters, and inches.
• The formula for calculating the area of a square is Area of square = s2, where s is the square’s side. It is measured in square units such as cm2, m2, etc.

Other properties of Square: 

• It’s a rhombus with four equal angles (each of which is 90 degrees)
• A square is a rectangle with equal lengths on adjacent sides
• It’s a parallelogram with all four internal angles at 90 degrees and neighboring sides that are the same length
• A square’s opposite sides are parallel to one another
• A square’s diagonals are equal in length, bisect one another, and are perpendicular to one another
