A concave polygon is a polygon with at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. This causes the polygon to have at least one "dent" or indentation in its shape. The presence of these interior angles greater than 180 degrees distinguishes concave polygons from convex polygons, which have all interior angles less than 180 degrees.

Polygon that has at least one dent in it?

What do you mean by "dent"?A curve? A polygon cannot have a curve anywhere along its edge. A polygon is defined to have straight edges only. Other shapes besides polygons exist, such as circles and ellipses and the like, but they are not polygons.If you mean that a part of the shape comes inward toward the body/center of the polygon... but the edges are still straight... then the only shapes that can do this have at least five sides. And polygons that do this are called "concave polygons". Look up what a concave polygon is to verify this is what youre talking about.

i dont think any1 knows * * * * * A concave polygon has at least one reflex angle. Equivalently, in a convex polygon, a line joining ANY two points in (or on) the polygon lie wholly within (or on) the polygon. In a concave polygon there are at least two points for which the line joining them does not lie wholly inside (or on) the polygon.

A polygon that has one or more interior angles greater than 180° is called concave. So it has at least one, but may have more.
