The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Understand the shape
A square is a quadrilateral with the following properties:
- All four sides are equal in length
- All four angles are equal in measure

Step 2: Use the angle sum property of a quadrilateral
Total sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral = 360\degree
Since all angles in a square are equal:
\[ \text{Each angle} = \frac{360\degree}{4} = 90\degree \]

Step 3: Evaluate the options
(A) 60\degree $\Rightarrow$ Too small for a square's corner
(B) 90\degree $\Rightarrow$ Correct, all angles in a square are right angles
(C) 45\degree $\Rightarrow$ Not correct, this is half a right angle
(D) 180\degree $\Rightarrow$ This is a straight angle, not for corners of a square
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (B) 90\degree}} \]
