What is the difference between inscribed and circumscribed?
== == Inscribed is a polygon inside a circle with all points on a given point in the circle. Circumscribed is a circle inside a polygon with any given point touching just one point on the polygon. Hope this helped.
If a line that contains a side of a polygon also contains a point inside the polygon this polygon is this?
It is concave.
Explain how to tell whether a polygon is a convex?
If, for any two points A and B in the polygon, all points with position A + kB are inside the polygon for 0 ≤ k ≤ 1, then the polygon is convex. In simple terms, if all points on the line AB lie inside the polygon, it is convex. If there is at least one point on AB that is outside the polygon then it is not a convex 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 set of all points inside a polygon?
It is the interior of the polygon.
