Convex . . . "curved out", like the outside of a balloon, the outside of a smooth hubcap,
and the top of a half-eaten ice-cream cone.
Concave . . . "curved in", like the top of the ice-cream in the tub after the first five cones
have been scooped out, the mark a rock makes in snow, and the inside of a soup bowl.
What else can I help you with?
What does convex mean in maths?
convex is a 3D that all planes slant outwards it is the opposite to concave where planes slant inwards. Hope that Helped
What does concave mean in math?
It means sunken in. If the top of a stone is concave, it can hold rainwater.'Convex' means swollen out. If the top of a stone is convex, water rolls off.
What does concave mean in geometry?
A 3D object that has all of it's sides slanted inwards; opposite of convex.
What makes a polygon a concave?
Not all polygons are concaves. For it to be a concave, it must have an outline or surface pointing inwards, like a depression. The opposite is "convex." Most regular polygons are convex, while some will be concave. Think about it this way: con = with (generally, and sometimes), cave = going inward, or bending inward, etc. CONCAVE is the result of those two put together, so it must mean that one or more of its outlines or surfaces must be pointing inwards! :)
How do you work out size of hexagon?
The answer depends on what you mean by size: its area (more likely) or perimeter. In either case, the answer depends on what information you have about the hexagon: whether it is regular, irregular but convex, or concave.

What is corvex?
If you mean convex, convex is a term meaning curving out or bulging outwards. It is the opposite/antonym of concave.

Does meniscus always concave?
No, the meniscus is not always concave. It can be convex or flat depending on the liquid and the surface tension between the liquid and the container.
What does convex mean in geography?
convex means in geography as something which is curved outward for example a hill is convex because it is curved outwardly and don't get confused in concave of hill because a hill never is concave a bowl is concave so convex is curved outwardly and concave is curved inwardly
What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
A convex mirror is curved outward, like the back of a spoon, and diverges light rays to create a virtual image that is always upright and smaller than the object. A concave mirror is curved inward, like the inside of a spoon, and can create both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror.
What does concave mean in geometry?
A 3D object that has all of it's sides slanted inwards; opposite of convex.
Which lens concave or convex forms the image wider?
Only a convex lens forms any kind of real image and the size of the image is dependent upon the focal length (hence the curvature and and substance) of the lens. A concave lens forms a virtual or imaginary image in front of the lens. It is one that cannot be projected onto a surface. Perhaps what you mean has to do with convergence and divergence. A convex lens causes light rays to converge (come together at a point), while a concave lens causes rays to diverge.

What does the word 'meronym' mean?
This is a fascinating term - meronym is a term midway between two opposites - for example: black, GRAY, white; another example: convex, FLAT, concave.

Which term describes a polygon with no dents in it?
A convex polygon.I suspect that what you mean is a convex polygon.
