Ask Polygon, the Gal with all the angles.
Dear Poly,•
• I think I am a Square but other shapes keep making fun of me. The other day this mean circle called me a Rhombus. I don’t know what it means but I think it was an insult. I called her an oval and we had quite a fight. I know my sides are even so why am I not a square.
• • Signed,• • Off Center•
Dear Off, Just because all your
sides are even does not necessarily mean you are a square. Your angles have to all be 90 degrees. If not, I am afraid you are a rhombus, But don’t despair that is just a funny word for a type of parallelogram with even sides, nothing more. I hope you also realize that a rhombus standing on one of its angles is a diamond..
Be proud of the shape you were born with.
