We are used to seeing the term 'radius' in the context of circles - the radius of the circle is the distance from its center to any point on its circumference.But in geometry, we also use the … [Read more...] about Radius of a Regular Polygon
Squares
A rectangle in which all the sides are equal, or a rhombus in which the angles are right angles, is called a square.
A square combines the properties of rectangles and diamonds.
So in a square, the diagonals are of equal length, they bisect each other, they bisect the angles, and they are perpendicular to each other
We will show these properties using triangle congruence.

Now that we've explained the basic concept of squares in geometry, let's scroll down to work on specific geometry problems relating to this topic.
The Diagonals of a Square Bisect Each Other
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other. This is a general property of any parallelogram. And as a square is a special parallelogram, which has all the parallelogram's basic properties, this is … [Read more...] about The Diagonals of a Square Bisect Each Other
How to Find the Diagonal of a Square
A square is a geometric shape which is fully determined by the lengths of its side, a. If we know the length of the side of a square, we know its perimeter, its area, the length of its diagonals, … [Read more...] about How to Find the Diagonal of a Square
The Diagonals of Squares are Perpendicular to Each Other
Just like rectangles are a special type of parallelogram, squares are a special type of rectangles, in which all the sides are equal. Or you can think of it as a special type of rhombus (diamond) in … [Read more...] about The Diagonals of Squares are Perpendicular to Each Other
