We know that the sum of interior angles of any polygon (convex or concave) having n sides is (n−2)×180∘.
∴ The sum of angles of a concave quadrilateral is (4−2)×180∘=360∘.
:
Sticks can be treated as the diagonals of a quadrilateral.
Now, since the diagonals (sticks) are bisecting each other each other at right angles, therefore the shape formed by joining their end points can be a rhombus or a square.
Both the sticks are of the same length. This means that the diagonals of the quadrilateral formed are equal and also bisect each other perpendicularly.
∴ The shape formed is that of a square.
:
We know that, a kite has two pairs of congruent adjacent sides and we can observe that figure R resembles a kite.
:
True
A rhombus can be constructed uniquely, if both diagonals are given.
:
Line segments.
A closed curve made up of only line segments is called a polygon.

Given: BEST is a rhombus, so,
TS∥BE
and BS is a transversal.
∴∠SBE=∠TSB=40∘ [alternate interior anges]
Also,∠y=90∘ [diagonals of a rhombus bisect at 90∘]
In ΔTSO,
∠STO+∠TSO+∠SOT=180∘ [Angle sum property of a triangle]
x+40∘+90∘=180∘⇒x=180∘−90∘−40∘=50∘
∴y−x=90∘−50∘=40∘
:
True.
A square a quadrilateral with allfour angles right angles. Therefore, we can say that all squares are rectangles but vice-versa is not true.
:
Given, ∠FIS=60∘
Now, ∠FTS=∠FIS=60∘ [∵ opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
Now, FT∥IS and TI is a transversal, therefore ∠FIO=∠STO=35∘ [alternate angles]
Also, ∠FOT+∠SOT=180∘ [linear pair]
⇒110∘+∠SOT=180∘
⇒∠SOT=70∘
In ΔTOS,∠TSO+∠OTS+∠TOS=180∘ [angle sum property of triangle]
∴∠OST=180∘−(70∘+35∘)=75∘
In ΔFST,∠SFT+∠FTS+∠TSF=180∘ [angle sum property of triangle]
⇒∠SFT=180∘−(60∘+75∘)∴∠SFT=45∘
:
The number of non-overlapping triangles in an n-gon = n - 2,
i.e. 2 less than the number of sides.
