Which of the following sentences are statements? Give reasons for your answer. (i) The sides of a quadrilateral have equal length. (ii) Answer this question.

(I) This sentence can be once in a while right and here and there mistaken. For instance, square and rhombus have sides of equivalent lengths while trapezium and square shape have sides of inconsistent lengths. Therefore it is not a statement.

(ii) It is a request. Consequently, it’s anything but not a statement
