A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don't you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There's got to be parallel lines, don't you see, or then it's not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don't forget that, don't let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

This has an infinite number of sides

270°≠90°

You could say a regular square has 4 270° exterior angles

This is what AI would give you after countless tries strating with a triangle and having gone up the Pentagon and down to two pairs of unconnected parallel lines.....but what if all equally sized lines were connected? Bam! This

Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.

of course there's a Wikipedia page for that

Take that, Euclid!

A square has all right angles inside the structure. This thing has two inside and two outside.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

But arent the ones from the circle 90 degrees on the inside of the circle as well?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

No, the two angles are not equal. Outside/inside angles add up to two π radians. A square has four interior angles of 1/2 π radians, and four exterior angles of 3/2 π radians.

If you add that to the definition, you could still have a “square” with a segment of a circle connecting the edges in the middle

[-] [email protected] 11 points 15 hours ago

Then that section would be of a shorter length.

Kinda forgot the sides being parallel part. Like missing a step in assembling IKEA furniture, its not gonna turn out right.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 20 hours ago

You don't normally need to specify that the sides are parallel if you specify four right angles.

Now make a square out of squiggly yarn

String theorists claim this is the true shape of spacetime!

When you miss one important constraint in your CAD project.

Oh man I felt this.

It makes me want to be angry and laugh at the same time

Where are the broad, flat fingernals tho?

you geometry people go too far stop personifying vertexes, planes, and points math shouldn't be fun

Wouldn't the angles need to be interior?

[-] [email protected] 155 points 1 day ago

They are all interior to the meme

This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.
