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

Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.


A polygon that is not convex?

Is a concave polygon.


Is the following polygon convex or concave?

is this a polygon? is it concaver or convex


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 are the similarities between regular polygon and a concave polygon?

A regular polygon is a special kind of convex polygon - one in which all the sides are of the same length and all the angles are equal. Convex and concave polygons form disjoint sets: so no concave polygon can be regular.


A pool is in the shape of a polygon. The segments and vertices of the polygon are shown. Is this polygon convex or concave?

concave


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.


What is a definition for non convex polygon?

A simple polygon that is not convex is called concave, non-convex or reentrant. A concave polygon will always have an interior angle with a measure that is greater than 180 degrees.


A square is an example of a quadrilateral that is both a regular concave polygon and a regular convex polygon?

No. There can be no regular concave polygon.


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.


Is a concave polygon a polygon for which there is no line that contains both a side of the polygon and a point in the interior of the polygon?

convex


What is a complex polygon?

A polygon can be convex, which means Convex Polygon: A polygon that has all interior angles less than 180° Concave Polygon A polygon that has one or more interior angles greater than 180° A Complex polygon is neither convex or concave. A star polygon is an example of a complex polygon. If you look in google images, there are tons of pics of them.
