Square Formulas
The calculator uses the following formulas to compute square properties:
- Area: A = s² (side length squared)
- Perimeter: P = 4s (four times the side length)
- Diagonal: d = s√2 (side length times the square root of 2)
About Squares
A square is a regular quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles (90°). It is both a rectangle and a rhombus, making it a special case of both shapes. Squares have rotational symmetry of order 4 and four lines of reflective symmetry.
