Let's start by recalling the rule for the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon.

Interior Angle Sum of a Polygon
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)180, where n represents the number of sides.

To find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral, we will substitute 4 for n in this expression.

(n-2)180

n= 4
