A square has exactly four vertices.
To understand why a square has four vertices, let's define what a vertex is. A vertex (plural: vertices) is a point where two or more lines or edges meet. In the case of a square, which is a closed, two-dimensional shape with four sides, each corner represents a vertex.
Think of a square like a picture frame. Each corner of the frame is a vertex. Since a square has four corners, it logically follows that it has four vertices.
Here's a simple way to visualize it:
- Draw a square.
- Count the number of corners.
- You'll find that there are four corners.
- Therefore, a square has four vertices.
Therefore, the answer remains unequivocally four.
