A polygon is a closed figure formed by joining the line segments such that each line segment intersects with only two other line segments, one at each end point.

A figure is said to be convex polygon if:

All the interior angles of the polygon are less than 180°and all the diagonals drawn lies in the interior of the polygon.

Step 2. Observe the given diagram.

The given figure is:

03

Step 3. State whether the given figure is a convex polygon, non-convex polygon or neither.

The given figure is not a polygon because the given figure contains the line segments are intersecting with more than two line segments and a polygon is a closed figure formed by joining the line segments such that each line segment intersects with only two other line segments, one at each end point.
