# Take four congruent card-board copies of any quadrilateral ABCD, with angles as shown [Fig 3.5 (i)]. Arrange the copies as shown in the figure, where angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4 meet at a point [Fig 3.5 (ii)]. What can you say about the sum

Q2. Take four congruent card-board copies of any quadrilateral ABCD, with angles as shown [Fig 3.5 (i)]. Arrange the copies as shown in the figure, where angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4 meet at a point [Fig 3.5 (ii)].

What can you say about the sum of the angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3 and ∠4?

[Note: We denote the angles by ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, etc., and their respective measures by m∠1, m∠2, m∠3, etc.]

The sum of the measures of the four angles of a quadrilateral is___________.
You may arrive at this result in several other ways also.

As we know the sum of all four angles of a quadrilateral is$360\degree$.

$\angle 1,\angle 2,\angle 3,\angle 4$ are four angles of quadrilateral ABCD.

Hence, the sum of these angles is $360\degree$ = $\angle 1+\angle 2+\angle 3+\angle 4$

Angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4 meet at a point and sum of these angles is $360\degree$ = $\angle 1+\angle 2+\angle 3+\angle 4$.
