A square has 4 vertices (corners).

Quick Scoop: How Many Vertices Does a Square Have?

A square is a 2D shape with four equal straight sides, and the points where those sides meet are called vertices (or corners). Since a square has four sides, it has four meeting points, so it has four vertices.

Fast facts

  • A square has 4 sides and 4 vertices.
  • Each vertex is a corner where two sides meet at a right angle (90°).
  • The plural of vertex is vertices.

A simple way to picture it

Imagine drawing a square on paper:
Start at one corner, trace along each side, and count each corner as you go. You’ll say “1, 2, 3, 4” and end up back where you started—those are the four vertices.

TL;DR: A square has 4 vertices (4 corners).
