The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one. 1. **Each diagonal of a quadrilateral divides it into two triangles.** - A quadrilateral has two diagonals. When you draw one diagonal, it splits the quadrilateral into two triangles. This is true for both diagonals. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Parallelogram and trapezoidal quadrilateral (trapezium) are both quadrilaterals because they have 4 sides.** - A parallelogram and a trapezium both have four sides, which means they are both types of quadrilaterals. This statement is also **correct**. 3. **A quadrilateral can have at most 3 angles.** - A quadrilateral has exactly 4 sides and, consequently, 4 angles. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **A quadrilateral has two diagonals.** - A quadrilateral indeed has two diagonals, which are formed by connecting opposite vertices. This statement is **correct**. From the analysis above, the incorrect statement is the third one: "A quadrilateral can have at most 3 angles." ### Steps Summary: 1. Analyze the first statement about diagonals and triangles - **Correct**. 2. Analyze the second statement about parallelograms and trapeziums - **Correct**. 3. Analyze the third statement about the number of angles in a quadrilateral - **Incorrect**. 4. Analyze the fourth statement about the number of diagonals in a quadrilateral - **Correct**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **A quadrilateral can have at most 3 angles.**
