An acute triangulation of a polygon \(P\) is a triangulation of \(P\) into acute triangles. Let \(f(P)\) be the minimum number of triangles necessary for an acute triangulation of \(P\). Solving a problem raised by \textit{H. Maehara} [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 2098, 237--243 (2001; Zbl 0998.52005)], the author proves that the maximum value of \(f(Q)\) for all convex quadrilaterals \(Q\) is equal to 8.
