difference between convex and concave polygons

how can we judge convex and concave polygon

there are many ways to judge convex and concave polygon .

first way:

convex polygon : if all the diagonals of a polygon lie inside it , it is called convex polygon

concave polygon : if any one of the diagonals lie outside the polygon , it is called concave polygon

another way:

convex polygon : if all the interior angles of a polygon are less than or equal to 180, it is called convex polygon

concave polygon: if one or more than one interior angle of a polygon is greater than 180, it is called concave polygon

Convex polygons are normal polygons like triangles, quadrilaterals, etc.... All of their diagonals are inside the polygons.
Concave polygons are like stars, Their diagonals can be both inside and outside.
