"Question 3 What is the sum of the measures of the angels of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and try!)
Understanding Quadrilaterals Page 41"
Answers
A quadrilateral is a four sides Polygon. It has four angles.
Angle
Sum Property
Sum of angles of the Quadrilaterals =360º
Convex Polygon
In convex polygons all the diagonals are inside the Polygon.
Concave
Polygon
In concave polygons all the diagonals are not inside the
Polygon.
==========================================================
Solution:
[fig. is in the attachment]
The
sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral is 360° as a convex
quadrilateral is made of two triangles.
In fig.convex quadrilateral, it made of two
triangles. Therefore, the sum of all the interior angles of this quadrilateral
will be same as the sum of all the interior angles of these two triangles i.e.,
180º + 180º = 360º
This property also holds true for a
quadrilateral which is not convex. This is because any quadrilateral can be
divided into two triangles.
Here again, in the fig concave quadrilateral is
made of two triangles.
Therefore, sum of all the interior angles of this quadrilateral will also be 180º + 180º = 360º

Hope this will help you...
Yes , the property will be hold of the quadrilateral is not convex
