    You can tell if the mesh is mostly tris or quads by looking at the wireframe. You will either see entirely triangle faces (polygons with 3 edges), or a mix of quadrangle faces (polygons with 4 edges).

    Mesh>Quadrangulate does a pretty good job, but it depends on the input mesh. A low-poly game model won't quad well.

    I found I get better results if I open the Quadrangulate options and adjust the angle threshold.

    Maybe this isn't a realistic case because maya's pretty good at quadrangulating a mesh that it triangulated itself but it works.
