Defining a Square
Defining a Square is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 5: Rectangles and Squares in Illustrative Mathematics, Grade 5.
Key Concepts
Property A square is a quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent sides. It is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal in length.
Examples A quadrilateral with vertices at $(0, 0)$, $(4, 0)$, $(4, 4)$, and $(0, 4)$ is a square. A rectangle with a length of 7 cm and a width of 7 cm is a square. A rhombus with four right angles is a square.
Explanation A square is defined as a quadrilateral that has four equal sides and four right angles ($90^\circ$). Because it has four right angles, every square is also a rectangle. However, not all rectangles are squares, as rectangles only need to have opposite sides be equal. A square is the most specific type of parallelogram, as it is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
