Degrees in the Angles of a Square

Yesterday I presented a question about squares.  Do you know the total degrees in a square?

A square has a total of 360 degrees in its angles.  Each angle is 90 degrees.  The square has 4 right angles.  As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students that geometry is an important part of the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.  It is important to know the total number of degrees in all the angles of different shapes.  It is also important to know how to find the perimeter and area of the different shapes.
