The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding quadrilaterals, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "A quadrilateral has 4 angles and 4 diagonals." - A quadrilateral is defined as a polygon with four sides. - By definition, a quadrilateral has exactly **4 angles** (one at each vertex). - However, the assertion claims that it has **4 diagonals**. To find the number of diagonals in a quadrilateral, we can use the formula for the number of diagonals in a polygon, which is given by: \[ \text{Number of diagonals} = \frac{n(n-3)}{2} \] where \( n \) is the number of sides. For a quadrilateral, \( n = 4 \): \[ \text{Number of diagonals} = \frac{4(4-3)}{2} = \frac{4 \times 1}{2} = 2 \] Thus, a quadrilateral has **2 diagonals**, not 4. Therefore, the assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "A quadrilateral is a polygon made up of line segments." - A quadrilateral is indeed a polygon. - It consists of **4 line segments** (the sides of the quadrilateral). - These line segments are typically labeled as AB, BC, CD, and DA. Since this statement is true, we conclude that the reason is **true**. ### Conclusion - The assertion is **false** because a quadrilateral has 4 angles but only 2 diagonals. - The reason is **true** because a quadrilateral is indeed a polygon made up of 4 line segments. ### Final Answer The assertion is false, and the reason is true. ---
