What Does square Mean
The first step that we are going to take is to determine the etymological origin of the word square that we are now dealing with. Thus, we can establish that it emanates from Latin, from the term “quadratus” which means “square” and that it is made up of the following parts:
• The word “quadrum”, which can be translated as “four”.
• The suffix “-ado”, which is used to indicate that someone has received the action.
Square is a word that is often used to name a geometric figure that is made up of four equal and parallel sides.
A square, in this sense, is part of the set of quadrilaterals (it has four sides) and parallelograms (since these four sides are parallel). Another peculiarity of a square is that its four interior angles are right (that is, they measure 90º). For example: "The teacher asked us to draw a square whose sides are eight centimeters" , "Juan has trouble differentiating between squares, rectangles and rhombuses" , "How can I draw a square inside a circle?" .
It is interesting that we also highlight the existence of what has been called the magic square. It is a table composed of whole numbers, which are distributed throughout it in such a way that the sum of the rows, columns and diagonals always gives the same. That is to say, that the magic rule is fulfilled.
The notion of square is also used to define a type of surface measurement . When the term is added to the measure , therefore, it is referring to the fact that it will have the same surface as a square whose sides have that length. In this way we can speak of square kilometers , square meters , etc.
The square root of a certain number, on the other hand, is obtained by multiplying another value by itself and obtaining the first number in question. The square root of 16 , therefore, is equal to 4 , since multiplying 4 by itself ( 4 x 4 ), the result is 16 .
In addition to all the above we have to say that the word that concerns us is the one that shapes the surname of a famous Colombian soccer player. This is Juan Carlos Cuadrado, who plays both as a midfielder and as a right back. He has been international on several occasions with the national team and is currently part of the ranks of the ACF Fiorentina team. He previously played for Udinese and US Lecce.
Likewise, we must not forget that square is also a term that is used to refer to a type of mold or die that is used to carry out the minting of both medals and coins.
In the realm of music, a square is said to be a note that has the value of two major measures.
In colloquial language, finally, square can be an adjective used to describe someone who is stubborn or gross : “You can't be so square! It is dangerous to connect an appliance with wet hands ” .
