The basic properties of a square

Squares can also be a parallelogram, rhombus or a rectangle if they have the same length of diagonals, sides and right angles.

1. All four sides of a square are same length, they are equal:

AB = BC = CD = AD:

AB = BC = CD = AD

2. Opposite side of a square are parallel:

AB||CD, BC||AD

3. All four angles of a square are right angles:

∠ABC = ∠BCD = ∠CDA = ∠DAB = 90°

4. Sum of the angles of a square are equal to 360 degrees:

∠ABC + ∠BCD + ∠CDA + ∠DAB = 360°

5. Diagonal of a square are same length:

AC = BD

6. Each diagonal of a square divides its into two equal symmetrical area

7. Diagonals of a square intersect its right angles, and share each other half:

AC┴BD		AO = BO = CO = DO =	d
			2

8. Intersection point of the diagonals is called the center of the square and also the circumcenter of the inscribed circle and circumscribed circle

9. Each diagonal divides the angle of the square in half, meaning they are bisectors of the angles of the square:

ΔABC = ΔADC = ΔBAD = ΔBCD
∠ACB = ∠ACD = ∠BDC = ∠BDA = ∠CAB = ∠CAD = ∠DBC = ∠DBA = 45°

10. Both diagonals divide the square into four equal triangle besides these triangles are both isosceles and rectangular:

ΔAOB = ΔBOC = ΔCOD = ΔDOA

Diagonal of a square

Definition.

Diagonal of the square is any segment that connects two vertices opposite angles of the square.

Diagonal of any square is always greater than its side √2 times.
