Non-Convex Shapes
Non-convex shapes are geometric figures that do not have the property of convexity. In a convex shape, any line segment drawn between two points within the shape remains entirely inside it. However, in non-convex shapes, there are points where a line segment connecting them may lie outside the shape. Common examples of non-convex shapes include star shapes, crescent moons, and irregular polygons.
These shapes can be more complex and interesting than their convex counterparts. Non-convex shapes often have indentations or "dents," which create unique properties in areas such as architecture, art, and computer graphics. Understanding non-convexity is essential in various fields, including mathematics and engineering, where shape analysis plays a
