A quadrilateral has how many sides and angles?

• A. Four sides and four angles
• B. Three sides and three angles
• C. Five sides and five angles
• D. Four sides and three angles

Answer: (A)

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, which means it has four straight sides and four interior angles. Each vertex where two sides meet forms one interior angle, so the number of sides and the number of angles match. Therefore, the shape has four sides and four angles. The other options mix counts that don’t describe a four-sided figure (triangles have three sides/angles, pentagons have five).
