Which is the real square? Only one of the quadrilaterals are actually squares. The rest are impostors! [b]Instructions[/b] Move the vertices around in each quadrilateral to discover the true nature of each quadrilateral. [b](Not all points can be moved but be sure to try and move all four points before coming to a conclusion.)[/b] If you need room, you can hide any quadrilateral by unchecking it's box.
