ASVAB Practice Test

A square has how many sides?

1. 2

2. 3

3. 4

4. 5

The correct answer is: 2

A square has four sides. This is a fundamental property of squares in geometry. By definition, a square is a quadrilateral, which is a polygon that has exactly four sides. All four sides of a square are equal in length, and the angles between the sides are right angles (90 degrees). In geometrical terms, any shape that has four sides and quadrilateral characteristics will inherently be identified as having those four sides. Consequently, a square cannot have fewer or more sides than this. Understanding that a square specifically consists of four sides can help solidify the foundational concepts of geometry and shapes in your preparation for the ASVAB exam.
