Your question needs more information. Convex means a surface curves out, while concave means the surface curves in.
Concave is not a shape, it is the term for when two lines meet facing inwards, rather than outwards (outwards is known as convex)
it means that part of the shape is rounded outwards
angles that face outwards
A convex polygon is defined as a polygon with all its interior angles less than 180°. This means that all the vertices of the polygon will point outwards, away from the interior of the shape. Think of it as a 'bulging' polygon. A triangle (3-gon) is always convex.
A convex mirror curves outwards. It is thicker at the edges and thinner at the center, causing light rays to diverge when they reflect off its surface.

A convex shape curves outward like a bowl, while a concave shape curves inward like a cave. Convex shapes do not make things upside down.

A convex lens curves outward, forming an elliptical shape.
it means that part of the shape is rounded outwards
A convex lens curves outwards from the middle. This type of lens converges light rays towards a focal point, commonly used in magnifying glasses and cameras.
A concave slope curves inward or has a depression in the middle, resembling a bowl shape. In contrast, a convex slope curves outward, forming a mound or hill shape. Both types of slopes can be found in various natural landscapes.
Convex when it bends outwards, concave when it bends inwards
A concave mirror curves inward in the middle, while a convex mirror curves outward in the middle.
A plane mirror will reflect an image without any distortion, a concave mirror will reflect an upside-down image that can be magnified or diminished depending on the object's distance, while a convex mirror will reflect a right-side-up image that appears smaller than the object. By observing how an object's reflection appears in the mirror, you can determine its type.
Convex is usually bigger than concave. In a convex shape, an imaginary line connecting any two points lies completely within the shape, making it appear more expansive. In contrast, a concave shape curves inward, often providing less surface area than a convex shape of similar dimensions.
