Question

Since a quadrilateral has 4 sides, we can construct a unique quadrilateral if 4 sides are given. State true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Suppose there is a quadrilateral with 4 given sides. The same four sides can be rearranged in an infinite number of configurations, each giving a different quadrilateral. In order to uniquely specify a quadrilateral, an additional variable (angle or diagonal) is required in addition to the 4 sides. The given statement is false.
