A convex polygon is a two-dimensional convex polytope, equivalently the convex hull of a finite planar set with nonempty interior. Its vertices are the extreme points of that hull. Saying that given points form a convex polygon means every specified point is a vertex; points inside the hull or in the interior of a straight boundary segment do not count as vertices.
A convex polygon is a type of polygon in which all its interior angles are less than 180 degrees. This characteristic means that any line segment drawn between two points within the polygon will lie entirely inside the polygon. Additionally, for a convex polygon, for any two points within the polygon, the straight line connecting them does not exit the polygon at any point. Key properties of convex polygons include: 1. **Interior Angles**: Each interior angle is less than 180 degrees.
