which classifications apply to the polygon? check all that apply. convex concave regular hexagon octagon
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Check for convex or concave
A convex polygon has all interior angles less than (180^{\circ}) and no indentations. A concave polygon has at least one interior angle greater than (180^{\circ}) (has an indentation). The given polygon has an indentation, so it is concave.
Step2: Check the number of sides
A hexagon has 6 sides. Counting the sides of the given polygon, we see it has 6 sides.
Step3: Check for regular
A regular polygon has all sides and all angles equal. The given polygon does not have all sides and angles equal (as it is concave, which implies side - length and angle - measure inequalities).
Step4: Check for octagon
An octagon has 8 sides. The given polygon has 6 sides, not 8.
Answer:
concave, hexagon
