Question 2 Identify if there are any squares in this collection. Use measurements if needed.Now, a square has All sides equal All angles 90° Let’s check each option one-by-one Shape A: Sides: All sides are 4 units in length because they go 4 dots up/down, and 4 dots over. They are equal Angles: The angle looks 90° as from left corner it goes exactly one unit up and exactly one unit down. This is true for all four corners, so all angles are 90°. Thus, this is a square Shape B: Sides: All four sides are equal because they go 3 dots over, 4 dots up (or down) path Angles: The angles are more than 90° as it goes more than 1 unit up and more than one unit down – its not same. The corners are not 90°. Thus, this is a not a square Shape C: This is similar to Shape C – sides are equal, angles are not 90° Sides: All four sides are equal because they go 5 dots over, 4 dots up (or down) path. Angles: The angles are more than 90° as it goes more than 1 unit up and more than one unit down – its not same. The corners are not 90°. Thus, this is a not a square Shape D: Sides: The sides are not equal. One side is "1 dot over, 2 dots up," and the next is "2 dots over, 1 dot down.” It looks like a rectangle Thus, this is a not a square
