CHAPTER 3: UNDERSTANDING QUADRILATERALS
WORKSHEET: 1
Key Points:
➢ A four-sided polygon is called quadrilateral.
➢ A regular Polygon is both ‘equiangular’ and ‘equilateral’.
➢ Diagonal is a line segment which connects two non-consecutive vertices of a
polygon.
➢ Convex Polygon: All diagonals lie inside the polygon.
➢ Concave Polygon: All diagonal do not lie inside the polygon.
n(n−3)
➢ The number of diagonals in a polygon having n sides is
2
➢ The sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
➢ The sum of all interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n – 2) x 180°

Please practice the following questions of Ex 3.1(Q1- Q7) Chapter 3 of

NCERT BOOK (pg. 41 - 42) in your Math Notebook

Q1. Given here are some figures.

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

Q.2 How many diagonals does each of the following have?

Q.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?

Q.4 Examine the table. (Each figure is divided into triangles and the sum of the angles
deduced from that)

Introduction to Geogebra
GEOGEBRA is a dynamic Mathematics software for all levels of
learning and teaching. It brings together Geometry, Algebra and few other areas
of Mathematics.

Geogebra users is a rapidly expanding community supporting science,

technology, engineering and Mathematics ( STEM ).
