What the difference between convex and non convex polygons?
In a non-convex (or concave) polygon, at least one interior angle is a reflex angle. An alternative definition is that if you take any two points inside a conves polygon, the line joining them is wholly inside the polygon.
Is the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon the same as a non-convex polygon?
No. In a convex polygon the sum of the interior angles is (n-2)*180 deg where n is the number of interior angles. In a non-convex polygon this is not necessarily true.
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 does a non convex polygon look like?
A non convex polygon would have an exterior angle less than 90 degrees making it look concave at that vertex.
What is a non convex shape with three sides?
I believe the fewest number of sides in a planar, non-convex polygon is four.
