Identifying Convex Polygons

A detailed tutorial on identifying convex polygons. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to identify convex polygons for reference.

Convex polygons are polygons that seem to curve inwards. They may appear rather big compared to concave polygons. The best way to identify a convex polygon is to check for a reflex angle. A reflex angle looks like an obtuse angle, or an arrow cutting into the figure. Concave polygons have reflex angles, convex polygons don’t. All regular polygons are considered convex polygons.
