Convex Hull

Explore ConvexHull on MathWorld


The convex hull of a set of points S is the intersection of all convex sets containing S.

Convex hull is a high school-level concept that would be first encountered in a geometry course covering solid geometry.

Prerequisites

Polyhedron: A polyhedron is a three-dimensional solid that consists of a collection of polygons, joined at their edges.
