We know that
angle DAC+ angle ACD+ angle D = 180 A B
Also, angles DAC + CAB = angle A and angle ACD + angle ACB = angle C
So, angle A + angle D +angle B + angle C = 360
i.e. THE SUM OF THE ANGLES OF A QUADRILATERAL IS 360.

Cut out a parallelogram from a sheet of paper and cut it along a diagonal.
Now we obtain two triangles.
What can we say about these triangles?
Place one triangle over the other.
Turn one round.
We observe that the two triangles are congruent to each other.
Thus we can say that –
A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.
A diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles.
A B 2. DPBQ is a parallelogram
P
3. PSQR is a parallelogram
SOLUTION: 1. In quadrilateral APCQ,
AP is parallel to QC
AP = ½ AB , CQ = ½ CD , AB = CD, AP = CQ
Therefore APCQ is a parallelogram. (theorem 8.8)
2.Similarly quadrilateral DPBQ is a parallelogram because
DQ is parallel to PB and DQ = PB
3. In quadrilateral PSQR
SP is parallel to QR and SQ is parallel to PR.
SO ,PSQR is a parallelogram.
Draw a triangle and mark the mid points E and F of the two
A sides of the triangle.
Join the points E and F.
In a parallelogram,
Opposite sides are equal , opposite angles are equal , diagonals bisect each
other.
A line drawn through the mid point of a side of a triangle parallel to another
side bisects the third side.
