Proof of properties of convex polygons

52 Views Asked by At

Let $P$ be a polygon on a plane. I want to show the equivalence of the following assertions:

  1. $P$ is convex;
  2. every internal angle of $P$ is strictly less than $\pi$;
  3. $P$ is an intersection of a finite number of closed half-planes;
  4. every diagonal of $P$ lies inside of $P$;
  5. for every side $AB$ of $P$, $P$ lies in a single half-plane with respect to $AB$.

Some of the implications are trivial, i.e, $1\Longrightarrow 4$, $1\Longrightarrow 2$ and $4 \Longrightarrow 5 $, $3\Longrightarrow 1$.

Surely this question is not new, however I wasn't able to find a reference with a proof.
