And thus, we want to know which polygon has all sides congruent, as well as all right angles. As shown above, only a square does.
Therefore, there is a 1/4 chance in choosing a polygon that has all sides congruent and all right angles.
the polygon is Square, which is satisfies the condition all sides congruent and all right angles.Quote:
