what shape does a square form when rotated?

When a square is rotated, it forms a larger square or a diamond shape, depending on the axis of rotation.

To imagine the rotation, consider a square and envision it spinning around a fixed point. If the square rotates along its center point, it will form a larger square with its corners extending outwards. This larger square will have the same orientation as the original square.

However, if the square rotates along one of its corners, it will form a diamond shape. The two opposite corners will become the new longer sides of the diamond, and the other two opposite corners will become the shorter sides.

So, the shape that a square forms when rotated depends on the axis of rotation.
