Question

prove that the sum of angels of a quadrilateral is 360



​

Answer 1

Answer:

A quadrilateral is a polygon which has 4 vertices and 4 sides enclosing 4 angles and the sum of all the angles is 360°. When we draw a draw the diagonals to the quadrilateral, it forms two triangles. Both these triangles have an angle sum of 180°. Therefore, the total angle sum of the quadrilateral is 360°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

∠D + ∠DAC + ∠DCA = 180°                           (Sum of angles in a triangle)

Now consider triangle ABC,

∠B + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180°                            (Sum of angles in a triangle)

On adding both the equations obtained above we have,

(∠D + ∠DAC + ∠DCA) + (∠B + ∠BAC + ∠BCA) = 180° + 180°

∠D + (∠DAC + ∠BAC) + (∠BCA + ∠DCA) + ∠B = 360°

We see that (∠DAC + ∠BAC) = ∠DAB and (∠BCA + ∠DCA) = ∠BCD.

Replacing them we have,

∠D + ∠DAB + ∠BCD + ∠B = 360°

That is,

∠D + ∠A + ∠C + ∠B = 360°.

Or, the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. This is the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.
