Question 14 of 28intermediate💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Similarly, push one side of a square. Are they still right angles? What types of angles have been formed?

Correct Answer

When a square is pushed, the angles are no longer right angles. Two opposite angles become acute (less than 90°). The other two opposite angles become obtuse (more than 90°). ∴ The square deforms into a rhombus shape.

Explanation

The chapter demonstrates that squares, like rectangles, are not rigid shapes and can deform when pushed, changing their angles from right angles to acute and obtuse angles.

Solution Steps

  1. When a square is pushed, the angles are no longer right angles.

  2. Two opposite angles become acute (less than 90°).

  3. The other two opposite angles become obtuse (more than 90°).

  4. The square deforms into a rhombus shape.
