3. What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property
Answers
Answer:
(a) A convex quadrilateral has two diagonals.
(b) A regular hexagon has 9 diagonals.
c) A triangle has no diagonal.
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex?
Answer:
Let ABCD is a convex quadrilateral, then we draw a diagonal AC which divides the quadrilateral
( pls note that the diagram is on up of answer)
in two triangles.
Ð A + ÐB + Ð C + Ð D = Ð 1 + Ð 6 + Ð 5 + Ð 4 + Ð 3 + Ð 2
= (Ð 1 + Ð 2 + Ð 3) + (Ð 4 + Ð 5 + Ð 6)
= 1800 + 1800 [By Angle sum property of triangle]
= 3600
Hence, the sum of measures of the triangles of a convex quadrilateral is 3600.
Yes, if quadrilateral is not convex then, this property will also be applied.
