- How many vertices in a quadrilateral? How many interior angles ?
- How many lines can be drawn such that they join opposite vertices in a quadrilateral?What are these lines called?
- Do the two lines intersect with each other? At the point of intersection how many angles are formed?Do you notice any equal angles? What kinds of angle pairs are formed at the point of intersection?
- What is the measure of the total angle at the point of intersection of diagonals?
Evaluation at the end of the activity
