Answer

(i) The given figure has the same starting and end point and does not cross itself at any point.

∴ Yes, it is a simple closed curve.

(ii) The given figure is a simple closed curve made up entirely of four line segments.

∴ Yes, it is a quadrilateral.

(iii) The diagonals are obtained by joining the non-adjacent vertices of the quadrilateral.

In context of the given figure: Basic Geometrical Concepts, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 6.

∴ The diagonals are AC and BD\overline{AC} \text{ and } \overline{BD}.

(iv) On observing the figure carefully, we find that one diagonal lies completely inside the quadrilateral while the other lies completely outside it (since the quadrilateral is concave).

∴ Diagonal AC\overline{AC} lies in the interior and diagonal BD\overline{BD} lies in the exterior of the quadrilateral ABCD.
