Let us check if the rotated square still satisfies the properties of a square.
• Are all the sides still equal? Yes.
• Are all the angles still 90°? Yes.
Rotating a square does not change its lengths and angles.
Therefore, this rotated figure satisfies both the properties of a square and so, it is a square.
By the same reasoning, a rotated rectangle is still a rectangle.
Constructing Squares and Rectangles
Going further in the chapter playing with constructions, now that we understand the
properties of squares and rectangles.
