Angle sum property =>the sum of mearures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral in 360
Yes,even if quadrilateral is not convex then, the angle sum property can be applied.

Let ABCD is a non – convex quadrilateral and join BD, which also divides the quadrilateral in two triangles.
Using angle sum property of triangle,
InΔABD,1+2+3=180......(i)InΔBDC,4+5+6=180......(ii).Addingeq.(i)and(ii),1+2+3+4+5+6=3601+2+(3+4)+5+6=360
Hence proved.
