Which end of the oblong is described as the convex end?

Which end of the oblong is described as the convex end?

• A. Outward-curved end
• B. Inward-curved end
• C. Flat end
• D. Rounded end

Answer: (A)

The concept here is convex versus concave curvature. A convex end is the one that curves outward, bulging away from the inside of the shape. So the end described as convex is the outward-curved end, since “outward-curved” directly communicates that the curvature bulges outward. The other terms describe different curvature directions or lack thereof: inward-curved means it bends inward (concave), flat means no curvature, and rounded describes a smooth bend but doesn’t specify direction. Hence, outward-curved end best matches the convex description.
