What are convex polygons

The video tutorial explains the concept of convex polygons, using a pentagon as an example. It discusses how to determine if a polygon is convex by extending its sides and checking if they intersect the interior. The tutorial also touches on exterior angles and briefly introduces concave polygons.

What is the first step in determining if a polygon is convex?

• Check if all angles are less than 180 degrees.

• Extend the lines that form the sides of the polygon.

• Measure the length of each side.

• Calculate the area of the polygon.

When extending the lines of a polygon, what indicates that it is convex?

• The lines do not intersect the interior of the polygon.

• The lines are parallel to each other.

• The lines intersect the interior of the polygon.

• The lines form a closed shape.

What is a key characteristic of a convex polygon?

• It has at least one angle greater than 180 degrees.

• Its sides are all equal in length.

• Its extended lines do not cross the interior.

• It has more than four sides.

What happens to the lines of a convex polygon when extended?

• They form a circle.

• They intersect each other.

• They remain on the perimeter and do not cross inside.

• They create a star shape.

What is briefly mentioned at the end of the discussion on convex polygons?

• The types of angles in a polygon.

• The formula for calculating the area of a polygon.

• The definition of a concave polygon.

• The history of polygon studies.
