In that case, there’s no need to specify anything about the angles. Or, the characterisation the meme is playing with: a shape with four straight sides of equal length and right angles. Adding parallel to the meme’s version doesn’t help.
I’m just tired of this thread. Not only do Lemmy users have this weird urge to show off their high school maths knowledge to dunk on a joke that obviously only works because OP played with the definition, but they’re not even correct. The /r/mathmemes thread was much better.
That weird urge is like 80% people feeling the need to correct OP’s grammar, like birds do when they hear the wrong birdsong, as if there were anything at stake here.
Honestly, I wish people would play with definitions more. It’s fun. And, unironically, you would be a much better mathematician than most of the know-it-alls here.
A square must also have two pairs of parallel sides.
Calculus can find you two pairs of parallel sides, right there on the circle!
No it doesn’t. Right angles + equal length is a sufficient condition
No, it isn’t. A square is a plain, convex and regular quadrilateral with four internal right angles.
