These terms describe polygons. To identify a polygon as convex, we draw a segment from any vertex to any other vertex. This segment cannot go outside of the polygon. Non-convex is concave. If we draw...
CONVEX- Having a surface or boundary that curves or bulges outward, as the exterior of a sphere.

I will prove a more general theorem from which your answer follows immediately.
Theorem: The intersection of any number (including 2) of convex polygons is convex.
Proof
Let C be the...
A polygon is convex if you can take any two points inside the polygon and connect them with a line segment that is completely contained by the polygon. For example, any triangle is convex. But this...
