Can squares (a regular 4-sided shape) fit together around a point without any gap or overlap? How many squares did you need?

Correct Answer

Answer: Yes, squares can fit together around a point without any gap or overlap.

Number of squares: 4

Reasoning: Each angle of a square = 90° 4×904 \times 90° = 360° ∴ Four squares fit together perfectly around a point.

Explanation

The chapter explains that squares tessellate perfectly. Four squares can be arranged around a common point with no gaps or overlaps because each corner angle is 90°, and four right angles add up to 360°.

Solution Steps

  1. Each angle of a square = 90°

  2. 4×904 \times 90° = 360°

  3. Four squares fit together perfectly around a point.
