A square is a two-dimensional geometric shape with four equal sides and four right angles.
The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In other words, the area equals the side length squared.
The perimeter of a square is the distance around the outside of the shape. It can be found by adding together all four sides of the square.
While both shapes have four sides and four right angles, a square has all equal sides while a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. Additionally, a square's sides meet at 90 degree angles, while a rectangle's sides can meet at any angle.
Squares are used in many aspects of daily life, including in design and construction, in measuring and dividing spaces, and in creating maps and diagrams. Squares are also commonly used in mathematics and geometry problems.
