Draw a polygon that satisfies this criterion

172 Views Asked by At

Draw a picture of a simple polygon and a set of guards, such that the guards can see every point on every edge of the polygon, but the guards cannot see every point in the interior of the polygon.

I encountered this while randomly searching for polygon triangulation problems. I feel that no such polygon + guard combination exists. but I do not know how to go about proving or disproving that. Some help would be appreciated.

This should do it. Yellow stars are the guards. They cannot see the red object.
