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.

Is it possible to have a regular polygon be concave.. why or why not?
No. It is impossible.The definition of a regular polygon is a polygon with equal angles, and equal sides.For a polygon to be concave, it has to have at least one angle more than 180 degrees, and a a polygon cannot consistently have angles more than 180 degrees.
A polygon that is not convex?
Is a concave polygon.
What is a concave angle?
A concave angle is an angle, of a polygon that caves in.
What is the difference between a concave and a convex polygon?
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
A polygon for which there is a line containing a side of the polygon that also contains a point in the interior of the polygon?
concave polygon
Which ter desciribes a polygon that has at least on dent in it?
Concave.
Which term describes a polygon that has at least one dent in it?
concave
What kind of polygon has at least one dent that is a vertex pointing toward the interior of the polygon?
A concave polygon.
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.
Can a triangle be concave?
No, you would need at least 4 points to create a concave polygon.
What is the difference between a convex shape and a concave shape?
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.
What term describe a polygon in which at least two lines containg sides of the polygon that will pass through the interior of the polygon?
A concave polygon.
Which term describe a polygon in which at least two lines containing side of the polygon will pass through interior of the polygon?
concave
Which term describes a polygon in which at least two lines containing sides of the polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
concave
Which term describes a polygon in which at least two lines containing sides of the polygon will pass through?
concave
How many dents does a concave polygon have?
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.
How are convex polygons different from concave polygons?
A concave polygon has at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. A convex polygon has none of those.
