Explain why a rectangle is a convex quadrilateral.
Solution:
Polygons that are convex have no portions of their diagonals in their exteriors. Also, all the interior angles of a convex quadrilateral are lesser than 180 degrees.
A rectangle is a convex quadrilateral since its vertex are raised and both of its diagonals lie in its interior. Also, each interior angle of a rectangle measures 90 degrees. Hence, none of the angles is a reflex angle. So, a rectangle is considered a convex quadrilateral.
