The house has square and rectangle bricks. The bricks need to be square or rectangle so they can stack and fit together. The sides of these shapes are flat and straight to make it easier to concrete them together. You couldn’t use round shapes to build a house because they wouldn’t fit together. This math’s skill is called tessellation.
