Concave

= Concave =

A certain kind of shape, opposite of convex. If any two points can be connectd by a line that goes outside the shape, the shape is concave. The letter C is a concave shape. An easy way to remember concave is thinking of it being like a hill with a cave in it. If you put a straight line between a gold nugget in the floor and a diamond in the ceiling, the line is not inside the hill anymore (it is in the air not in the earth). The word concave means "with a cavity."
