prove that in a quadrilateral the sum of all angle is 360°
Answers
Given- A quad. ABCD
To Prove- angle A + angle B +angle C + angle D = 360 degree
Const- join BD
proff - since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degree, we have angle A + angle 1 + angle 2 =180 degree ..... (i) ( sum of angle of triangle ABD)
and angle 3 + angle C + angle 4 = 180 degree ....(ii)( sum of angle of triangle BCD).
on adding (i) and (ii), we get angle A + angle C + ( angle 1 + angle 3 ) + (angle 2 + angle 4) = 360 degree
angle A + angle C + angle B + angle D = 360 degree { angle 1 + angle 3 = angle B and angle 2 + angle 4 = angle A }
angle A + angle B + angle C + angle D = 360 degree.
Statement :
sum of the angles of quadrilateral is 360°
To Prove :
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Proof :
In ∆ ABC , m∠4 + m∠5+m∠6 = 180°
[ using angle a property of a triangle]
Also , in ∆ ADC , m∠1 + m∠2+m∠3= 180°
Sum of the measures of ∠A, ∠B , ∠C and ∠D of a quadrilateral
m∠4 + m∠5+ m∠6 + m∠1 + m∠2 +m∠3 = 180°+ 180°
→ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Thus , sum of measure of four angles of quadrilateral is 360°.
