 C. CONVEX AND
CONCAVE POLYGONS
 CONVEX
POLYGONS
• A polygon is convex if no
line that contains a side of
the polygon, contains a
point in the interior of the
polygon.
 CONVEX
• A polygon is a convex
POLYGONS

if no diagonal is in the
exterior of the
polygons .
EXAMPLES:
 CONCAVE
POLYGONS
• A polygon is concave
when one vertex
seems to be pushed
inwards.
 CONCAVE
POLYGONS
• A polygon is concave
is when diagonals in a
polygon may lie partly
or fully outside of it.
