How many total degrees are there in a square?

As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of reviewing geometry to improve their score on the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.  Today’s question asks the total number of degrees in the angles of a square.  I remind my students of the importance of knowing the area formulas for a variety of shapes including circle, triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids.  I remind them of the importance of knowing the total number of degrees in the angles of shapes.  All 4-sided shapes have the same total number of degrees.  Do you know how many degrees are in a square?  I will present the answer tomorrow.
