In a convex polygon a line drawn through every 2 adjacent points would not pass through the interior of the polygon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the answer ?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

If you draw a line through F and G will it pass through the interior of the polygon? I can't just give you the answer.

oh so it does

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Yes. So it is concave, not convex. If a polygon has an "innie" it's concave. A polygon is regular if all sides have the same measure, otherwise it is irregular.
