The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "All squares are trapeziums" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - A **square** is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to 90 degrees. - A **trapezium** (or trapezoid in some regions) is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. 2. **Analyze the Properties of a Square**: - In a square, opposite sides are equal and parallel. Therefore, a square has two pairs of parallel sides. 3. **Check the Definition of a Trapezium**: - Since a trapezium requires at least one pair of parallel sides, and a square has two pairs of parallel sides, it meets the criteria for being a trapezium. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all squares have the property of having parallel sides, we can conclude that all squares are indeed trapeziums. Therefore, the statement "All squares are trapeziums" is **True**.
