Consider that to form a quadrilateral, 4 sides are needed of which only 2 need to be common with the decagon. So, selecting the first side can be done in 10 ways. The second side has to be selected from the 9 barring the 2 adjacent sides of the first side(so as not to include any more sides of the polygon in the quadrilateral formation). So 7 ways. As the last 2 sides will be formed by joining the end points of the selected sides(not being common to the polygon), so that will give the maximum no. of quadrilaterals that can be formed. But this no. will have twice the no. of unique quadrilaterals that can be formed. Apply the conditions to evaluate your answer.
