Answer 2

I think its not a square.

Answer 3

A square has all equal sides. the top is only 4, while the one side i counted is 5.

Answer 4

no it is 4 units by 5 units. in order for it to be a square it would need to be 4 units by 4 units or 5 units by 5 units etc.

Answer 5

thats what i was thinking bc the sides are not congruent right?

Answer 6

Yes, that's correct. when you count down from Point B to Point A, there's 5 units of space. but when you count right from C to B, there are 4 units.

In order for any figure to be a square, all sides must be congruent

@lulubj you're correct :)
