Squashed circles are a type of shape that can be created by squashing or flattening circles, ELLIPSES, ovals, and oblongs. ELLIPSES are two-dimensional shapes with curved sides, and when squashed, they become flattened circles. Ovals are similar to ELLIPSES, but they have a more symmetrical shape. When squashed, they become flattened circles as well. Oblongs are elongated shapes with four sides, and when squashed, they become flattened circles. All of these shapes can be squashed into circles, creating a squashed circle.
