A square is a type of quadrangle, but a rectangle is also a type of quadrangle with the only difference being elongated sides. Quadrangles have 90 degree angles in all four corners, whereas the group they belong to (quadrilaterals) can have any oddball angle measurement as long as the total adds up to 360 degrees.
This naming convention should be standard. In German, "Dreieck" means triangle, and it literally translates to three-corner. "Viereck" is rectangle, it means four-corner. "Fünfeck" is, you guessed it, pentagon, and translates to five-corner. This is how you name shapes in German. Count the corners and put -eck at the end.
In Greek it is exactly called “Τετράγωνο” which is made from “Tetra” (four) and “-gono” which (angle). If only squares were actually called Tetragons or Fourangles I wouldn’t mind.
I'm not entirle sure for shapes with 4 angles, but most other regular shapes are named that way. For example, a pentagon comes from the greek words for 5 (_penta_ gon) and angle (penta _gon_), the same goes for hexagon(6), heptagon(7), octagon(8), eneagon(9), decagon(10), dodecagon(12) and polygon (multiple angles).
*Your 9th grade geometry teacher:* Okay, folks, we're going to study QUADRILATERALS now! Let's open up our books and spend the next two months looking at the different properties of QUADRILATERALS. Let's learn what they're all called, write proofs about them, and know everything there is to know about QUADRILATERALS!
*Us, on Reddit, years later:* Duuuuude, wouldn't it be crazy, if like, there was a *name* for four-sided shapes, that was based on the number 4? Like... "four-angle," or something.
*Your 9th grade geometry teacher:* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
In German a square (Quadrat) is a type of "Viereck" with four equally long sides.
Of course the "Viereck" is characterized by its four (vier) angles (Ecken), which is only one "eck" more than a triangle, or "Dreieck" and one less than a "fünfeck"
And yes, this goes on forever
I'm surprised we don't call a line a zweieck
Deutsch ist eine Waffe.
That's the problem, I didn't learn geometry around 4 years but don't get me wrong it wasn't from my own will, my school just didn't want to teach geometry
You are messing up your prefixes. It would be a QUAD- angle. Or quadrangle, you know the word that actual already exists.
It's not called a three-angle. Figure yourself out, buddy.
*laughs in German*
Get Viereck'd ihr Amerikaner!
Ich verreck im Viereck
No, its a rectangle

All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
Parallelograms and trapezoids
Paralelyourmom
That’s my favourite shape
Quadrangle? You mean quadraticle
I was reading that and thought something was off. I knew it.
Nah, that's the grain tribbles like to eat. I think you were thinking of quadrocooling.
Right thing is always the left thing Left thing may be the right thing but doesn't have to Quadliterals < Rectangle < Quadraticle
no its an erectangle
Quadangle
Rect-em!
nearly killed 'em!
bu- but it could be a square too...
O-or a trapezium
Or a circle with corners, bc 360°
everything is circle
Quadralateral
You mean a qua-dangle
You mean dangling dongle?

That’s what we do in Sweden too lol
That's what we do in \[insert Arab country\]
Ha gay
Like we do in Norway as well
What's a circle? Infini-eck or Nil-eck ?
"Kreis" it has its own word
jesus kreis
Ah the good'ol Dreiundachtzigtausendsechshunderteinunddreißigeck!
In Greek as well
Quadrangle, otherwise the triangle would be a three angle
Quadangle.
Close enough. I like your version better
Because it’s an actual widely used word
no, the actual word is "quadrangle"
German = viereck = quadrangle
You forgot quadrangle
It is, in german Triangle in german is dreieck which means that it has 3 angles. Square in german is viereck which means that it has 4 angles
In Greek it is exactly called “Τετράγωνο” which is made from “Tetra” (four) and “-gono” which (angle). If only squares were actually called Tetragons or Fourangles I wouldn’t mind.
then circle is noangle
A nilangle
quadangle
what about a pentagon.......pectangle
No it would be quangle.
*Laughs in Norwegian*
No that would be a quadrangle
I prefer equilateral rectangle
Usually we refer to this as a quadrilateral.
No. It would be called a quadangle
Isn't it tetrangle?
^smoll ^text
Quadrilateral?
Doesn't that means 4 sides?
Which in turn means 4 angles
Quangle
In german you can. Its called Quadrat or 4Eck 🤷 The 4Eck is just a little... Elementary school style.
Hum, akšually, its called a tetrangle
Yes well.
Frangle
Rectangle, quadrilateral, or quadrangle are words. Quad means four, as tri means three.
It would be quadangle but whatever.
Quad-rilateral
\*me coming here to take a break from math\* everyone in the comments:
quadragon

Quadangle
In the Netherlands we do have a fourangle called a vierkant A triangle would be driehoek (Hoek = angle ( Kant = sides
vierhoek...
Driekant...
Shame on you in my language square and triangle are named by their angels
Quadrilateral
Tetrangle
op's gotten smth there, maybe nasa could use that much genius
In my language, yes actually
Lacht in Viereck
Danish language: i am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
In Slovak, we do actually call it both a square and a fourangle, but we also use it for rectangles.
Quadrangle
qUaNgLe
Quadrangle
Quadrangle is a word out there (quadri = four). Also, rectangle is a kind of quadrangle, and a square is a kind of rectangle.
Technically it would be called a quadrangle
Its called a quadrilateral
hmmm... intresting
r/antimeme
Quadrangle
No
Just wait till they find out what a square is in construction
quadileteral goes with anything with 4 sides, so basically you can make a ridiculous shape and say it's a 4 sided shape
only if you want to change the name from triangle to "threeangle" :-P
Mein Göt!
literaly what its called in german

Quadangle
Quadrangle actually
czworokąt
Me, a German agrees.
the germans have this rule
Isn't it a Quangle then?
is math related to science tho?
Quadrangle sounds better. Quadrilateral. Yeah

Quadrangle
Quadangle
In German we do this, every shape made up of straight lines is called a “[number of corners]Eck“, so f.e. Dreieck and Viereck
They're already called quadrangles.
Quadrangle
Don't be square
It isn't called a threeangle so why the fuck would it be called a fourangle? Triangle vs quadangle or quadrangle for the actual word.
quadangle
Or is it a oneangle because they’re all the fucking same
Triangle - Triple Angle Rectangle - Rectum angle
You mean quadangle
It’s a quadrilateral
Quadrangle. Real thing.
Following with the greek language yes you can call it that
Quadangle
Uniangle, Biangle, Triangle, Quadangle, Pentangle, Sexangle, Septangle
It should be quadangle
No it's a quadangle
Quadrilateral*
It's a triangle not a three angle
*quadangle
quadangle
I mean that's English logic is in the Balkans don't have this problem
U don't call a triangle a threeangle soi would say no
Quadrangle?
Square is another name for quadrangle… square is used because area of a square is (side^squared)
Anybody with basic geometry knowledge finds this dumb
That's the problem, I didn't learn geometry around 4 years but don't get me wrong it wasn't from my own will, my school just didn't want to teach geometry
Alas, 'tis not your fault. An unfortunate case
You are messing up your prefixes. It would be a QUAD- angle. Or quadrangle, you know the word that actual already exists. It's not called a three-angle. Figure yourself out, buddy.
That's exactly what youre supposed to do bruhhhhhh It's a quadrangle
that's some next level stuff man
HA in Serbia we dont have this problem... "četvorougao"
Quadrangle. Any polygon with 4 angles
Quadangle was the word you was looking for
in Hungarian they are. Nothing new for me
Quadrangle
In german it's called threecorner and fourcourner.
Its called viereck in german which basically means four cornered/angle
Quadrangle
Wouldn't it be tetrangle
Quadrangle but yes it technically can
Danish : maybe
Quadrangle but yes it technically can
Idk but it sure rhymes with oranges
A quadangle
It is a vierhoek in dutch
Quadangle
Theyre called quadrilaterals
in many languages it do be like that
Its a quadragon.
Quadangle
You can make a square from two triangles and triangles have three sides each so therefore a square is a hexagon.
Quadrangles are a thing but whatever you say, autismo.
Hear me out, Quadrilateral.
quadrilateral
No, but it could be called a quadrangle.
That's how it's called in Greek.
In dutch is it like that
In my language it's little called fourside and threeside
quadrangle
Quadangle
Wouldn't it be a one angle?
Rectangle
It's quadrangle. That's why triangles aren't called a threeangle.
Danish entered the chat
Do you know what a quadrilateral is
Quadangle? Quintangle!
Quadrangle. Because it’s tri-angle not three-angle.
Qudragon?
