The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about kites, squares, isosceles trapeziums, and quadrilaterals are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: A kite always has two axes of symmetry.** - A kite has one axis of symmetry that runs along the line connecting the two pairs of equal-length sides. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement 2: A square is both a kite and an isosceles trapezium.** - A square has all sides equal and opposite sides parallel, fulfilling the properties of both a kite (two pairs of equal-length sides) and an isosceles trapezium (one pair of parallel sides). Thus, this statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement 3: Every kite is an orthodiagonal.** - In a kite, the diagonals intersect at right angles (90 degrees). Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement 4: An isosceles trapezium can have a circumcircle.** - An isosceles trapezium can have a circumcircle if the sum of the lengths of the bases is equal to the sum of the lengths of the legs. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 5. **Statement 5: A kite can always have an incircle.** - A kite can have an incircle if the lengths of the two pairs of opposite sides are equal. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 6. **Statement 6: If the sum of two opposite sides is not the same as the sum of the other pair of opposite sides, it can never be a circumscribing quadrilateral.** - For a quadrilateral to be circumscribed (having a circumcircle), the sums of the lengths of opposite sides must be equal. Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Summary of Statements: - Statement 1: Incorrect - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Correct - Statement 4: Correct - Statement 5: Correct - Statement 6: Correct ### Final Conclusion: The correct statements are 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Therefore, the answer is that all options except the first statement are correct. ---
