Q Use your protractor to measure the angles inside the triangles that
             make up the quadrilateral.

             La =                                ^g =



             /Lc =                               /-i =

              Ad =                               ^/ =
                                                     '.
             /Le =                               A/c =

                                                 ^/ =
         Q Sum of angles =                        Sum of angles =

         Conclusion: The sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral is








       Calculate angle a.


                                                                                        The sum of the interior
                                                                                        angles in a quadrilateral
                                                                                        is 360°.


       Solution

       0+ 85° + 69° + 110° = 360°  (sum of int. As in a quad)  Remember to state the reason
                          = 360°-85°-69°-110°                 'sum of As in a quad'.
                          = 360° - 264°
                          = 96°
