Convex polygon

A convex polygon is a simple polygon (not self-intersecting) in which no line segment between two points on the boundary ever goes outside the polygon. Equivalently, it is a simple polygon whose interior is a convex set. In a convex polygon, all interior angles are less than or equal to 180 degrees, while in a strictly convex polygon all interior angles are strictly less than 180 degrees.

A simple polygon which is not convex is called concave.

The following properties of a simple polygon are all equivalent to convexity:

Additional properties of convex polygons include:

Every polygon inscribed in a circle (such that all vertices of the polygon touch the circle), if not self-intersecting, is convex. However, not every convex polygon can be inscribed in a circle.

The following properties of a simple polygon are all equivalent to strict convexity:

Every nondegenerate triangle is strictly convex.
