The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A trapezium has all angles equal," we need to analyze the properties of a trapezium (or trapezoid) and the implications of having all angles equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of a Trapezium**: - A trapezium is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. Let's denote the trapezium as ABCD, where AB is parallel to CD. 2. **Understanding the Angles**: - In a trapezium, the angles can vary. For example, if we denote the angles as A, B, C, and D, we can have: - Angles A and B (the angles adjacent to one of the parallel sides) can be acute (less than 90 degrees). - Angles C and D (the angles adjacent to the other parallel side) can be obtuse (greater than 90 degrees). 3. **Equal Angles Condition**: - If we assume that all angles A, B, C, and D are equal, then each angle would measure 90 degrees (since the sum of angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees, and 360/4 = 90). 4. **Conclusion**: - If all angles are equal and each measures 90 degrees, the shape would no longer be a trapezium but a rectangle (or a square if all sides are equal). Therefore, it is incorrect to say that a trapezium can have all angles equal. 5. **Final Statement**: - Thus, the statement "A trapezium has all angles equal" is false.
