Types of Convex Polygons
Two categories can be used to categorize convex polygons. These are what they are:
- Regular Convex Polygon
- Irregular Convex Polygon
Regular Convex Polygon
A regular convex polygon is one with all sides equal and all interior angles equal. Regular polygons can only be convex polygons. Every concave polygon is irregular. As a result, while all regular polygons are convex, not all convex polygons are regular.
Irregular Convex Polygon
The sides and angles of irregular polygons vary in length. If all of the irregular polygon’s angles are fewer than 180 degrees, it is an irregular convex polygon. An example of an irregular convex polygon is the scalene triangle.
Convex Polygon
Convex polygons are special shapes with straight sides that don’t fold inward. All the lines connecting the corners of a convex polygon stay inside the shape. The corners of a convex polygon always point outward. A regular polygon, where all sides and angles are equal, is always convex.
If a closed shape has a curved surface, it’s not a convex polygon. In geometry, a polygon is a flat, two-dimensional shape with straight sides and angles. There are two main types of polygons: convex and concave, based on the angles inside. Let’s explore more about convex polygons, including their properties, types, formulas, and examples.
