Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Definition of a Quadrilateral:** A quadrilateral is defined as a polygon with four sides. The term "quadrilateral" comes from the Latin words "quadri-" meaning four and "latus" meaning side. 2. **Identifying the Number of Sides:** By definition, a quadrilateral has exactly four sides. Therefore, it cannot be a five-sided polygon, which is known as a pentagon. 3. **Conclusion:** The statement "A quadrilateral is a five-sided polygon" is incorrect. A quadrilateral is specifically a four-sided figure.
