A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles (90 degrees). It has two pairs of parallel sides and is a specific type of rectangle and rhombus. The diagonals of a square are equal in length, bisect each other at right angles, and each diagonal divides the square into two congruent triangles. Additionally, the area of a square can be calculated by squaring the length of one of its sides (Area = side²).
