Draw a line matching points B and D.Line BD divides ABCD in two triangles .\triangle BCD and \triangle ABD.

Sum of angles of \triangle BCD = \angle DBC + \angle BDC + \angle C = 180\degree              \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( 1 \right )

Sum of angles of \triangle ABD = \angle ADB + \angle ABD + \angle A = 180\degree               \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( 2\right )

     Here,   \angle ADB + \angle BDC = \angle D

                \angle DBC + \angle ABD = \angle B

Adding equation 1 and equation 2,

(\angle DBC + \angle BDC + \angle C ) + (\angle ADB + \angle ABD + \angle A )  = 360\degree                    { \angle ADB + \angle BDC = \angle D   and 

i.e. \angle A + \angle B +\angle C +\angle D = 360\degree.                                                                                    \angle DBC + \angle ABD = \angle B }

The sum of the interior angles in a quadilateral, \angle A + \angle B +\angle C +\angle D = 360\degree.
