What is the difference between convex polygon and non convex polygon?

A polygon is convex if you can take any two points inside the polygon and connect them with a line segment that is completely contained by the polygon. A non-convex polygon is one which contains at least two points such that the line joining them does not lie entirely inside the polygon.


What is a convex heptagon?

No. Convex simply means that if you have a straight line segment joining any two points in (or on) a convex shape, then every point on that line segment in inside or on the shape. A convex shape can have 2 or more dimensions, it can by a polygon or have curved sides.


How can you tell whether a polygon is a convex?

A polygon (or any other plane shape) is convex if you take any two points inside it (or on its boundary) then the line joining those points is wholly inside (or on the boundary of) the 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.


How do you determine whether a polygon is convex or non-convex?

No interior angle of a convex polygon can exceed 180 degrees. A non-convex polygon has at least one reflex angle (> 180 degrees). Alternatively, a polygon is convex if, given any two points on or inside the polygon, the straight line joining the two points must lie wholly on or inside the polygon. In a non-convex polygon, it is possible to find a pair of points such that the straight line joining them lies outside the polygon for at least some of its length.


What is the difference between a regular polygon and a concave polygon?

A regular polygon has all its sides equal and all its angles equal. One consequence is that no angle can be reflex (between 180 and 360 degrees). A concave polygon, on the other hand, must have at least one angle that is a reflex angle. The line joining any two points inside any convex polygon (and that includes regular ones) must lie wholly within the polygon. In a concave polygon, it must be possible to find two point inside the polygon such that the line joining them crosses the boundaries of the polygon.


What is a space found inside a closed polygon?

A perpendicular segment drawn from a vertex to the line that contains the opposite side


What the difference between convex and non convex polygons?

In a non-convex (or concave) polygon, at least one interior angle is a reflex angle. An alternative definition is that if you take any two points inside a conves polygon, the line joining them is wholly inside the polygon.


How can you find the area of a polygon inside another polygon?

More information about the two polygons is required.


How many triangles are in an 11 sided polygon?

Any n-sided regular polygon, by joining a single vertex up to each of the others, will have a total of (n - 2) triangles inside. In this case, an 11-sided polygon will contain 11 - 2 = 9 triangles.


What is a convex hexagon?

a polygon with 6 sides * * * * * The fact that is has six sides makes it a hexagon but that does not explain ""convex". A convex polygon is one in which none of the angles is a reflex angle. An alternative definition of convex is that a line joining any two points inside the hexagon is wholly inside the shape.


What is a polygon region?

A polygon region is the area inside the boundaries of a polygon.
