Megan- How To...

How to draw a square
Terms:
90º angle: An angle with a value of 90º. It is almost like a sharp corner. It appears to be any version of these (┌ ┐└ ┘), connecting .
Perpendicular: at a 90º angle to a given line or plane. (ex: a flag pole lies perpendicular to the floor).
Vertical: Going from north to south, from top to bottom. Perpendicular to the horizontal.

Materials needed:
Pen
Writing Medium

Begin by obtaining materials and setting writing medium on a flat surface.
Open the cap of the pen, exposing it to use for writing.
Place the tip of the pen in the upper right corner, perpendicular to the writing medium.
Draw a straight line vertically down from this point. Make sure it does not go off the page. Keep note of the length of this line.
When finished, do not remove pen from writing medium.
Now draw a straight line of the same length and width 90º to the left of the line you just completed. Keep the pen in place.
Draw a straight line of the same length and width 90º upwards from the line you just completed. Keep the pen in place.
Draw a straight line of the same length and width 90º to the right of the line you just completed. This should connect the four lines together.
Remove the pen from the medium and cap.
Admire your amazing drawing of a square!

Possible uses: Math and Geometry, Architectural design, Drawing a Robot, Creating a Table, etc.

  1. Well well well, if it isn't the illustrious Megan Morikawa, here to tell us all how to draw a square. Hysterical.

    You know, and I know, that we know, that you know, that I know the true meaning behind this "how-to". *wink wink*

    It's wry humor tickles me. teehee.

    Let me give you a litte lesson in the world of funny, throughout the whole thing it is very, and I mean VERY informative. Complete with term and directions, heck, even the materials. But it gets repetative after hmm... let's say the second line is drawn.

    Oh Megan, one day this will grow to be the illustrious, yes that is my word-of-the-day, woman you are destined to be. But till then, try to overcomplicate the directions, making a different format for each line; it will make the "how to" funnier.

    Until then...
    Love,
