Algebra.Com's Answer #320036 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! here's a good reference that will help you understand convex and concave polygons. \n" ); document.write( "http://www.mathopenref.com/polygonconvex.html \n" ); document.write( "the convex polygon will not have an internal angle greater than 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "the concave polygon will. \n" ); document.write( "the figure shown in your jpg file looks very much like a concave polygon. \n" ); document.write( "there is no such a thing as a regular concave polygon (see the reference). \n" ); document.write( "your figure looks very much like a concave polygon. \n" ); document.write( "from wikipedia: \n" ); document.write( "A simple polygon that is not convex is called concave[2] or reentrant.[3] A concave polygon will always have an interior angle with a measure that is greater than 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "It is always possible to cut a concave polygon into a set of convex polygons. A polynomial-time algorithm for finding a decomposition into as few convex polygons as possible is described by Chazelle & Dobkin (1985).[4] \n" ); document.write( "end of from wikipedia: \n" ); document.write( " |
