A quadrulatera is made up of four lines.

Consider a quadrilateral PQRS.
Join QS.
To prove: ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360º
Proof:
Consider triangle PQS, we have,
=> ∠P + ∠PQS + ∠PSQ = 180º ... 1 [Using Angle sum property of Triangle]
Similarly, in triangle QRS, we have,
=> ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR = 180º ... 2 [Using Angle sum property of Triangle]
On adding 1 and 2, we get
∠P + ∠PQS + ∠PSQ + ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR = 180º + 180º
=> ∠P + ∠PQS + ∠SQR + ∠R + ∠QSR + ∠PSQ = 360º
=> ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360º
Hence, the sum of angles of quadrilaterals is equal to 360 degrees
