The video explains the differences between convex and concave polygons. A convex polygon has all interior angles 180° or less, while a concave polygon has one or more angles greater than 180°. When a line is drawn through a convex polygon, it intersects at two points, whereas in a concave polygon, it intersects at more than two points. Visually, convex polygons have vertices pointing outward, while concave polygons appear as if one vertex is pushed inward, resembling a cave. The video concludes with a reminder about the importance of kindness.
