Convex and Non-convex Polygons
Convex and non-convex polygons are classifications of polygons. But what are polygons? Polygons are closed-plane figures made up of line segments and the segments intersect only at their endpoints. If it does not satisfy the definition, then it is considered not a polygon. A three-dimensional figure is not a polygon since it is not anymore a plane figure. A plane figure has only two dimensions, namely, length and width. Also, a polygon’s sides must have exactly two other sides connected to them at their endpoints. All the sides must be line segments, not curve or circular in manner. Therefore, figures like circles, cones and the like are not polygons. So…

Who are Better in Math? Boys or Girls?
Math, the abstract science of numbers is most of the time (or is it always?) frowned upon by students in middle school. Who loves the subject anyway? I mean, aside from those few lucky souls, bless you. Kids, teenagers, college students honestly don’t want to dwell with the complexities of algebra and numbers for hours, do they? Like among Netflix, playing video games, internet and Math? Dude. Get real. It doesn’t stand a chance. But there seems to be this general idea that boys perform better than girls in Math. In most cases, boys are expected to perform higher than girls. So, what do we say about this? Here’s the…
