    Exercise 3.1: Nderstanding Uadrilaterals

    Uploaded by

    Lokendra
    This document discusses properties of quadrilaterals. It explains that for any point P inside a convex quadrilateral ABCD, the interior angles of the four triangles formed by connecting P to the vertices will sum to 360 degrees. However, for non-convex quadrilaterals, the interior angles will sum to more than 360 degrees because the shape is composed of more than two triangles when divided at the diagonals. The document uses examples and figures to illustrate these properties of convex versus non-convex quadrilaterals.

    UNDERSTANDING QUADRILATERALS 41

    3. As before consider quadrilateral ABCD (Fig 3.6). Let P be any


    point in its interior. Join P to vertices A, B, C and D. In the figure,
    consider ∆PAB. From this we see x = 180° – m∠2 – m∠3;
    similarly from ∆PBC, y = 180° – m∠4 – m∠5, from ∆PCD,
    z = 180º – m∠6 – m∠7 and from ∆PDA, w = 180º – m∠8
    – m∠1. Use this to find the total measure m∠1 + m∠2 + ... Fig 3.6
    + m∠8, does it help you to arrive at the result? Remember
    ∠x + ∠y + ∠z + ∠w = 360°.
    4. These quadrilaterals were convex. What would happen if the
    quadrilateral is not convex? Consider quadrilateral ABCD. Split it
    into two triangles and find the sum of the interior angles (Fig 3.7).

    EXERCISE 3.1 Fig 3.7


    1. Given here are some figures.

    (1) (2) (3) (4)

    (5) (6) (7) (8)


    Classify each of them on the basis of the following.
    (a) Simple curve (b) Simple closed curve (c) Polygon
    (d) Convex polygon (e) Concave polygon
    2. How many diagonals does each of the following have?
    (a) A convex quadrilateral (b) A regular hexagon (c) A triangle
    3. What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property
    hold if the quadrilateral is not convex? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and try!)
    4. Examine the table. (Each figure is divided into triangles and the sum of the angles
    deduced from that.)

    Figure

    Side 3 4 5 6
    Angle sum 180º 2 × 180° 3 × 180° 4 × 180°
    = (4 – 2) × 180° = (5 – 2) × 180° = (6 – 2) × 180°
