# An equilateral triangle is an example of what kind of polygon? Convex, concave or irregular?

Dec 26, 2015

Equilateral triangle is a regular three-sided polygon.
It has three interior angles of ${60}^{o}$ each and three sides, equal in length.
It's an example of a convex polygon.

#### Explanation:

There are a few different but equivalent definitions of a convex polygon.

One of them is as follows.
A polygon is called convex if all its interior angles are less than ${180}^{o}$. Equilateral triangle is, obviously, of this kind.

Another definition is as follows.
A polygon is called convex if a segment that connects any two of its vertices lies within the boundaries of a polygon. Equilateral triangle, obviously, satisfies this definition.
