What is an example of a convex polygon?
A convex polygon is a closed figure where all its interior angles are less than 180° and the vertices are pointing outwards. ... Real-world examples of convex polygons are a signboard, a football, a circular plate, and many more. In geometry, there are many shapes that can be classified as convex polygons.
Why is a convex polygon?
A polygon is convex if all the interior angles are less than 180 degrees. If one or more of the interior angles is more than 180 degrees the polygon is non-convex (or concave). All triangles are convex It is not possible to draw a non-convex triangle. These quadrilaterals are convex This quadrilateral is non-convex.
