No, a convex polygon cannot have an interior angle sum of 400 degrees. The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is always equal to (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Since the sum of the interior angles must be greater than 180 degrees for each interior angle, a convex polygon with an interior angle sum of 400 degrees would require at least 9 sides, which would make it a nonagon, not a polygon.

What is the measure of one angle of a regular convex 80 gon?
Exterior angle = 360/80 = 4.5 degrees. Interior angle = 180 - 4.5 = 175.5 degrees. And, a regular polygon has to be convex.
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.
Is a square a convex polygon?
Yes it is. It is surely a polygon and convex means all interior angles are less than a straight angle ( i.e.180 degrees).
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.
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.
