A convex shape is the opposite of a concave shape. It curves outward, and its middle is thicker than its edges. If you take a football or a rugby ball and place it as if you’re about to kick it, you’ll see that it has a convex shape—its ends are pointy, and it has a thick middle.
Q. How do you know if a polygon is convex?
How can we determine if a polygon is convex or concave? If the interior angles of of the polygon are less than 180 degrees, then the polygon is convex. But if any one of the interior angles is more than 180 degrees, then the polygon is concave.

Q. What is an example of a convex polygon?
A planar polygon is convex if it contains all the line segments connecting any pair of its points. Thus, for example, a regular pentagon is convex (left figure), while an indented pentagon is not (right figure). A planar polygon that is not convex is said to be a concave polygon.
Q. What is a 100 sided shape?
Hectogon
Q. Is any 4 sided polygon a triangle?
After triangles, the type of shape we will encounter the most is the quadrilateral: Quadrilateral : A polygon with four sides….Polygons in General.
| # of sides | Name |
|---|---|
| 3 | Triangle |
| 4 | Quadrilateral |
| 5 | Pentagon |
| 6 | Hexagon |
Q. Which shape has 3 more sides than a triangle?
trigon
Q. What’s a one sided shape called?
List of n-gons by Greek numerical prefixes
| Sides | Names | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | henagon | monogon |
| 2 | digon | bigon |
| 3 | trigon | triangle |
| 4 | tetragon | quadrilateral |
Q. Can a triangle have more than 3 sides?
In a triangle, the pattern is usually no more than 3 ticks. An equilateral triangle has the same pattern on all 3 sides, an isosceles triangle has the same pattern on just 2 sides, and a scalene triangle has different patterns on all sides since no sides are equal.
Q. Is it a closed shape with 6 sides?
A hexagon is a closed shape with 6 sides and 6 vertices.
Q. Is this shape open or closed?
An open shape is made up of line segments, but there is at least one line segment that isn’t connected to anything at one of its endpoints. The shape is not a closed figure. If a shape is enclosed from all the sides end-to-end and form a figure with no openings is called a closed shape.
Q. What is a closed shape with straight sides?
A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides. Rectangles, triangles, hexagons, and octagons are all examples of polygons.
Q. Is an open shape a shape?
What is an open shape? In geometry, an open shape can be defined as a shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves do not meet.
Q. Which is a closed shape?
In geometry, a closed shape can be defined as a enclosed shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves are connected or meet. They start and end at the same point. Here are some examples of closed shapes.
Q. Do open shapes have sides?
Open shapes have gaps, closed shapes don’t. Their sides do not touch. You can’t with an open shape.
