b) two
c) three
d) four
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: A figure formed by joining four points is called quadrilateral as shown in the diagram. It also has four sides (AB, BC, CD and AD) and four angles (∠A, ∠B,∠C and ∠D).

3. The sum of four angles of quadrilateral is equal to __________
a) 90°
b) 360°
c) 180°
d) 270°
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Let’s take a quadrilateral as shown in figure. By dividing it diagonally, we can see that it breaks into two triangles.

We know that sum of three angles of any triangle is equal to 180°.
Hence, ∠QPR + ∠Q + ∠QRP = 180° and ∠SPR + ∠S + ∠PRS = 180°.
Now to get the sum of four angles of quadrilateral,
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = (∠QPR + ∠SPR) + ∠Q + (∠QRP + ∠PRS) + ∠S
= (∠QPR + ∠Q + ∠QRP) + (∠SPR + ∠S + ∠PRS)
= 180° + 180°
= 360°
