Here are a couple of ways after creating some data:
m = Table[RandomReal[], {4}, {4}];
r = RandomReal[1, 4];
In[15]:= {r}.m.r
Out[15]= {3.99232}
or
In[16]:= g = List /@ r;
Transpose[g].m.g
Out[17]= {{3.99232}}
Note, while the computed value is the same for both, these are
not truly equivalent as the first outputs a 1 element long
vector and the second outputs a 1x1 matrix
