you never say use 3 straight lines. so actually you can draw with just one line. start from one corner, then draw a square using a pen. without lifting up the pen, end at the point u start. There you have it, a square drawn with 1 line. For 3 lines. just draw 2 side with 2 line and the last two side use 1 line.

This is a stupid question. If u ask for square of a number u can write 4 using 3 lines. Or the one line in the square should be invisible.

This is impossible to do in planar geometry, such as on a flat piece of paper. Thus, the answer only exists in a non-planar topologies. If you allow this, then the answers are infinite in number, and can even be done with just a single line, given sufficient "warping" of the topology.

For example, one solution is: On the surface of a cylinder, draw two parallel lines across the circumference, then a single line upon its length. This solution will be a square when the two parallel line are exactly the same distance apart as the circumference of the cylinder. (You can "draw" this by rolling your paper into a cylindrical shape.)

use 2 pieces of paper and u can do it with only two lines!!! lol... or four pieces and u can do it with only one
if u over lap the pages and draw a line that is one line but runs across the two pages u get two separate lines
then using the same pages again draw a line in the same way only at a right angle to the first line making sure it ends up as a right angle on the second sheet too
then u rotate the pages.. trim them a bit.. from end to end of the lines.. not the corner bit... the open lines... and then fit them together!! one square.. two lines!! im smarter than them.. they all had 2 use 3 lines lol.. u can just do it easier by only over lapping one page and then drawing on ur other two free lines.. but my way is more fun!

One way would be to draw an equilateral triangle with the three lines, but put that triangle on an architect's drawing of a commons area in a housing development, and call that area "Village Square". Even though it is a triangle, it would then be a "Square" in the "Piazza" sense of the term.

look for a piece of paper with a line already drawn on it, and then draw the other three lines to complete the square.

draw one side with one line. draw the second side with the second line. use the third line to complete the square.

i really hope u have a logical answer for this question. quite an interesting question and really got me thinking.

I would say, 2 straight line and a right angled line, would form a square.

Pretty much like this:

Two straight lines, One continuous line elongated on a 90 degree angle.

Use 3 lines to write the number 4.
4 is a square.

Works with either Arabic or Roman numerals.
