Is a square with a diagonal drawn connecting two corners still considered a square? This is a question about the definition of a square.

No, a square is a 4 sided polygon, with all sides equal, and all interior angles 90 degrees.

A square with a line across the corners is not a 4 sided polygon. Hence not a square.

    I tend to agree with Henning and Andre but I asked the question because it arose in a square counting puzzle and now I wonder whether the definition is as William suggests.2012-07-28
