When you draw the diagonals of a quadrilateral (a four-sided shape), they create triangles within the quadrilateral. These triangles are formed by connecting non-adjacent vertices of the quadrilateral. By understanding that the diagonals split the quadrilateral into smaller triangles, students can see how geometric shapes can be broken down and analyzed.

Use geometry words to describe how diagonals of quadrilaterals make triangles?

All triangles have 3 interior angles that add up to 180 degrees and the 4 interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees but if 2 of its vertices are joined by a diagonal this marks out 2 interior triangles each having 3 interior angles adding to 180 degrees.
