In a concave polygon a figure has an inverted point. This means all of the exterior angles do no = 360 and the interior angles do not follow the rule (number of sides - 2)180 to get the interior angle sum. Which is all important to geometry. To find out if a polygon is convex or concave take an imaginary rubber band and stretch it around the polygon. If it does not fit snugly then the polygon is concave. For instance if you had a giant square the rubber band would touch all four vertexes and have no gaps. A giant four sided V thought would have a gap between the two tips of the V and prove it was concave.
