A compound of two "line segment" digons, as the two possible alternations of a square (note the vertex arrangement). The apeirogonal hosohedron , containing infinitely narrow digons. Any straight-sided digon is regular even though it is degenerate, because its two edges are the same length and its two angles are equal (both being zero degrees).

All four sides of a square are equal. Opposite sides of a square are parallel. A square has Schläfli symbol {4}. A truncated square, t{4}, is an octagon, {8}. An alternated square, h{4}, is a digon, {2}. The square is the two-dimensional case of two families of regular polytopes, the hypercubes and cross polytopes.
This can be formalized mathematically by classifying the points of the plane according to which side of each line they are on. Each line produces three possibilities per point: the point can be in one of the two open half-planes on either side of the line, or it can be on the line. Two points can be considered to be equivalent if they have the ...
At any point during this rotation, two of the corners of the Reuleaux triangle touch two adjacent sides of the square, while the third corner of the triangle traces out a curve near the opposite vertex of the square. The shape traced out by the rotating Reuleaux triangle covers approximately 98.8% of the area of the square. [29]
The kite base is merely two valley folds that bring two adjacent edges of the square together to lie on the square's diagonal. The fish base consists of two radial folds against a diagonal reference crease on each of two opposite corners. The flaps that result on the other two corners are carefully folded downwards in the same direction.
Two of the most complicated of these figures are; the penton, with proportions 1: √ φ is related to the section of the golden pyramid, the bipenton's longer side is equal to the shorter multiplied by two thirds of the square root of three, longer side of the biauron is √ 5 - 1 or 2τ times the shorter.
The theorem can be proved algebraically using four copies of the same triangle arranged symmetrically around a square with side c, as shown in the lower part of the diagram. [5] This results in a larger square, with side a + b and area (a + b) 2. The four triangles and the square side c must have the same area as the larger square,
