     Properties of square:-

         Properties of  a square are listed below.
                       
  • All four sides are equal
  • All angles are right angle
  • Opposite sides are parallel to each other and equal in length.
  • The two diagonals are equal and bisect each other at 90°.
  • The diagonal bisect vertex angle.     

 

   Shape of square:-

    A square is two dimensional closed figure  with four equal sides and four right angles.

   All four sides are equal. All angles are 90° in measure. The diagonal bisect vertex angle.     

   Formulas of Square

  • Area
  • Perimeter                

Perimeter: Perimeter of a Plane Figure is the measure of the length of its boundary. The unit of perimeter is same as the unit of length  i.e. centimeter(cm),meter(m) ,kilometer(km) etc.

 
Area : Area  of a Plane Figure is the measure of the surface enclosed by it. The various units of measuring area  are :1 square cm(cm²), 1 square meter(m²),1 hectare etc.
 1. Area of a square is     = a² =1/2*diagonal²   where a is the length of  the sides of  a square.
 2.   Perimeter of a square  = 4a   as all four sides of a square are equal. 
 3. ΔABC=ΔBCD=ΔCDA=ΔDAB= a² /2   (consider above square)
 4.ΔAOB=ΔBOC=ΔCOD=ΔDOA= a²/4
 5. Diagonal  AC=BD=a√2

    As we know diagonals are bisect each other at 90° .So, we can apply Pythagoras

theorem h²=p²+b²

            h²=a²+a²

            h² =2a²                   

           h=a√2

  h is nothing but the AC=BD=h (diagonal).

Solved Examples

Example 1:-Find the area and perimeter of a square of side 8cm.

Answer:-Area of a square = a² .

                 so 8²=64 cm².

     perimeter of a square= 4a

                     so perimeter of this square=4*8=32 cm

Example 2: Find the area of a square whose diagonal is 2.9  meters long.

  Sol: Area of a square=1/2*diagonal²=1/2*2.9*2.9=4.205sq.metres.

Example 3:-The area of a square whose side is 3cm is _?

  Answer: – Area of square = a², If a is the side of a square.

  Here side of the square is given 3cm.

 Area of square = 3² =9 cm².

So Answer of this question is 9 cm².
