Okay, not like a virgin. More like an octagon.
And just a bit closer to a circle. Which is great: I hated being a square!
Not at all. One way to make it would be to cut the corners off a square.
An 8 sided octagon or a 4 sided rhombus can be formed depending on the size of the triangles cut from each corner.
Yes it can. Imagine a square with the corner cut off. The remaining shape is a pentagon with three right angles.
Well, honey, all you gotta do is make two straight cuts—one vertical and one horizontal—right through the middle of the square. Bam, you've got yourself four equal pieces. It's like magic, but with a knife. Just make sure you don't accidentally cut off a finger while you're at it.
With a pair of scissors by cutting off two off its corners leaving you with 2 triangles and 1 pentagon.
To turn a 9x9 square into an octagon you can cut corners off the square. It will not be a regular octagon though.
a square with 3/4 of its corners cut off
Cut the corners off of a square or rectangle, but do so from points that are not near the centers of each side.
Not at all. One way to make it would be to cut the corners off a square.
A square is not a polyhedron, it is a polygon. A cube is not a polygon, it is a polyhedron.A square has 4 edges and 4 vertexes. It has no faces because it is not a polyhedron. If you cut the corners off of a square, the new polygon has 8 edges and 8 vertexes.A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertexes. If you cut the corners off of a cube, the new polyhedron has 14 faces, 36 edges, and 24 vertexes.
fold the paper and cut off all the corners

Irregular Pentagon
1:Draw in the diagonals of the square. 2:Measure out from the centre of the square a distance of 4 ft along the diagonals towards each corner of the square and make marks. 3:You have 4 marks. Draw a line at right angles (90o) through each mark, to cut off the corners of the square. There's your octagon.
Well, sort of- they used to be rectangular, with squared-off corners, because they were originally made in large sheets and then cut into individual candies. When Hershey moved production to Canada (and later Mexico), they changed to an extrusion process- which doesn't work very well with square corners, so they are now slightly-flattened cylinders.
Problems in communication made Californians feel cut off from the rest of the country
I guess that would just be a pentagonal, hexagonal, or octagonal tank, depending on how many corners are cut off. Still, a lot of those tanks are made with all the sides being the same size.
