The sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degree, prove it.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Proof: Let ABCD be a quadrilateral. Join AC.
Clearly, ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠A ...... (i)
And, ∠3 + ∠4 = ∠C ...... (ii)
We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
Therefore, from ∆ABC, we have
∠2 + ∠4 + ∠B = 180° (Angle sum property of triangle)
From ∆ACD, we have
∠1 + ∠3 + ∠D = 180° (Angle sum property of triangle)
Adding the angles on either side, 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 the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
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°.
