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 describe an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or curved around another object?

An object moving in a straight line maintains a constant direction from its starting point. An object moving in a curved trajectory is following a path that is not straight and may be influenced by another object's gravitational pull or magnetic field.


What joins two points on a circle?

A chord and the diameter is the largest chord of a circle. A2. Remember, the circle is the bit inside the curved line, NOT the curved line. [A circle is bounded by ... .] From any two points on a circle, you could erect a variety of lines, of which the shortest for any given quest would be a straight line. The other natural line joining two points would be the arc joining two points on the perimeter of a circle. * * * * * Actually, I believe that a circle IS the curved line. A circle is defined as the locus of all points that are at a constant distance from a fixed point (the centre). This is the boundary of the circle, not its interior.


What is a characteristic of a perpendicular bisector?

Given a straight line joining the points A and B, the perpendicular bisector is a straight line that passes through the mid-point of AB and is perpendicular to AB.


What are faces and edges and vertices?

A face, of a solid object, is a flat surface. If it is curved it is called a curved surface though sometimes it is also referred to as a face. Two faces meet at an edge, which is a line which may be straight or curved. Three or more faces meet at a point which is a vertex.


Do a pyramid and cones have curved surfaces?

Yes, a cone has a curved surface, as it tapers smoothly from its circular base to a point at the top. In contrast, a pyramid has flat, polygonal faces and does not have a curved surface; its sides are made up of straight edges that meet at a vertex. Thus, only the cone exhibits a curved surface between its base and apex.
