 Square (a two-dimensional figure) is a quadrilateral with four equal side lengths and 90° interior angles. 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.
