How to Make a Geometric Square

Simple geometry can be broken down into a handful of basic shapes. One of these shapes, the square, forms the basis of many objects. If you wish to create a geometric square, you can easily achieve this task in a few simple steps. This will create a square shape that you can use to build an overall structure. Alternatively, you can use your square to teach a person what a square looks like.

Things You'll Need

Ruler
Pencil
Protractor
Paper
Scissors

Instructions

- 1
  Select a size for the square and use a ruler to draw a line of that length on a piece of paper. For example, if you select two inches, trace a pencil along the edge of the ruler for two inches.
- 2
  Measure a line of the same size again, starting from one end of the first line at a 90-degree angle. Use a protractor to measure a 90-degree angle. Place the protractor flush with the line and mark the location of 90-degrees. Perform this at each end of the first line. Connect the ends of the two lines you have just drawn to complete the square. You now have one square traced, with four identical sides connected by 90-degree angles.

  Use scissors to cut out the square. Cut along the lines to ensure an accurate square. You now have a geometric square.
