Definitions from the WebTerm: Convex Polygon Definition: A convex polygon is a polygon in which every interior angle is less than 180 degrees and every line segment connecting any two points inside the polygon lies entirely inside the shape. It is a polygon with no indented corners or diagonal lines crossing outside of the shape. Sense 1: In geometry, a convex polygon refers to a two-dimensional figure with straight sides and no angles greater than 180 degrees. It is a closed shape where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees, making it appear outwardly bulging. Example Sentence 1: A square and a triangle are both examples of convex polygons, but a pentagon with an indented corner is not. Sense 2: In computer graphics and computational geometry, a convex polygon is a shape used to represent objects with a clear boundary. It is commonly used in collision detection and rendering algorithms within computer programs and games. Example Sentence 2: The collision detection algorithm checks if any convex polygons collide during gameplay to determine the outcome of the game. Related Products: | ||||
