Answer:

D) It is a convex pentagon because it has five sides and none of the sides would extend into the inside of the polygon.

Explanation:

Let's see what a polygon is.

Polygon is a figure which is formed by the number of line segments. it is closed figure by the line segments. The name of the polygons differs according to the number of sides.

It is start with triangle.

Triangle - 3 sided polygon

Rhombus = 4 sided polygon

Pentagon = 5 sided polygon

Hexagon = 6 sided polygon.

The given figure has 5 side, so it is a pentagon.

Let's see whether it is concave pentagon or convex pentagon.

If any one of interior angle is greater than 180 degrees, then it is concave polygon, otherwise it is convex.

Here none of the interior angles is greater than 180 degrees.

Therefore, it is a convex pentagon.

Answer: D) It is a convex pentagon because it has five sides and none of the sides would extend into the inside of the polygon.
