OpenStudy (triciaal):

pentagon has lines just like your sketch concave curves in while convex bends out please explain a pentagon with bends

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's like the one you drew, then it's convex because there are no lines bending into the pentagon. Instead, they are bending out. Hope this helps :)

@nicole09 a pentagon is a 5-sided figure with lines |dw:1408917275750:dw|

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):
