The sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral is 360° as a convex quadrilateral is made of two triangles.
______________________
Here, ABCD is a convex quadrilateral, made of two triangles ABC and ABCD. 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., 180° + 180° = 360°
Yes, 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, ABCD is a concave quadrilateral, made of two triangles ABC and ABCD. Therefore, sum of all the interior angles of this quadrilateral will also be 180° + 180° = 360°
