It can be proven that the sum of all the internal angles of a polygon with n sides is (n-2)*180 degrees.

In the case of a square, n = 4 and so the angles sum to (4-2)*180 = 2*180 = 360 degrees.

Squares are made up of what type of angles?

Squares are made up of four ninety degree angles. Another term for these angles are called square angles. These four internal angles make up a square which also has four equal sides. When you add up the degrees of the angles the total is three hundred and sixty degrees.

What is the classification or triangles by side and angles?

An equilateral triangle is one where all sides are of equal length and all internal angles are 60 degrees. An isosceles triangle is one where 2 adjacent angles are of equal size and 2 adjacent sides are of equal length. A scalar triangle is one where no sides are equal in length and no angles are equal in size. A right-angled triangle is one where one of the internal angles is 90 degrees. The internal angles of all triangles always add up to 180 degrees.
