The task involves identifying and writing down the properties of 2D shapes. Below, I will explain the solution for each shape mentioned in the image.

Properties of a Square
A square is a type of quadrilateral (a polygon with four sides). Here are its key properties:
1.
All sides are equal in length.
2.
All interior angles are right angles (90°).
3.
Opposite sides are parallel.
4.
Diagonals are equal in length.
5.
Diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).
6.
Diagonals bisect the angles of the square.
7.
It has rotational symmetry of order 4 (it looks the same after a rotation of 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°).
8.
It has reflectional symmetry along both diagonals and both pairs of opposite sides.

Properties of a Triangle
A triangle is a polygon with three sides. The properties depend on the type of triangle (e.g., equilateral, isosceles, scalene), but here are the general properties:
1.
It has three sides and three angles.
2.
The sum of the interior angles is always 180°.
3.
The length of any side must be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides (triangle inequality theorem).
4.
Depending on the type:
-
Equilateral triangle: All sides are equal, and all angles are 60°.
-
Isosceles triangle: Two sides are equal, and the angles opposite those sides are also equal.
-
Scalene triangle: All sides and angles are different.
5.
It has rotational symmetry of order 3 if it is an equilateral triangle.
6.
It has reflectional symmetry depending on the type:
- Equilateral triangle: Symmetry along three axes.
- Isosceles triangle: Symmetry along one axis.
- Scalene triangle: No symmetry.

Solution Summary
Here is how you can write the answers:
####
For the Square:
- All sides are equal.
- All angles are 90°.
- Opposite sides are parallel.
- Diagonals are equal and bisect each other at 90°.
- Diagonals bisect the angles.
- Rotational symmetry of order 4.
- Reflectional symmetry along diagonals and sides.
####
For the Triangle:
- Three sides and three angles.
- Sum of interior angles is 180°.
- Sides follow the triangle inequality theorem.
- Types include equilateral (all sides equal, all angles 60°), isosceles (two sides equal, two angles equal), and scalene (all sides and angles different).
- Equilateral triangle has rotational symmetry of order 3.
- Symmetry depends on the type: equilateral (three axes), isosceles (one axis), scalene (no symmetry).
