prove that the sum of all the angles if a quadrilateral is 360°.
vedantrawat7:
Divide the quad into 2 equal triangles. them as we know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees therefore the two triangles will make 360 degrees. Mark both the eqns as 1 & 2 then solve it.

Draw a diagonal inside the quadrilateral such that it divides the quadrilateral into two triangles.(ABC and ADC).Now,According to Angle sum property of triangles,sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.There are two triangles in the quadrilateral so,180+180=360°.
Hence,proved that sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
Hence,proved that sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.

Let ABCD be a quadrilateral.
To prove that
∠A +∠B +∠C +∠D = 360°
Const :- Join AC.
Clearly,∠1 + ∠2 = ∠A ...... ( i )
And,∠3 + ∠4 = ∠C ....... ( ii )
Proof :
From Δ ABC , we get
∠2 + ∠4 + ∠B = 180° [By ASP of Δ]...(iii)
From Δ ACD , we get
∠1 + ∠3 + ∠D = 180° [By ASP of Δ]...(iv)
Adding (iii) and (iv) , we get
∠2 + ∠4 + ∠B + ∠1 + ∠3 + ∠D = 360°
=> (∠1 + ∠2) + ∠B + (∠3 + ∠4) + ∠D = 360°
=>∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° [ using ( i ) and ( ii )
Hence, the sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
