Prove that the sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Given: Consider a PQRS where QS is diagonal.
To prove: ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
Proof:
For ∆PQS, we have,
∠P + ∠PQS + ∠PSQ = 180° ... (1) …Using Angle sum property of Triangle
Similarly, in ∆QRS, we have,
∴ ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR = 180° ... (2) …Using Angle sum property of Triangle
On adding (1) and (2), we get
∠P + ∠PQS + ∠PSQ + ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR = 180° + 180°
∴ ∠P + ∠PQS + ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR + ∠PSQ = 360°
∴ ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
∴ The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
