I don't see the picture — could you upload it or describe it (how many vertices/sides and whether any corner points “indent” inward)?
How to decide yourself:
- Count the sides/vertices. 7 → heptagon, 8 → octagon.
- Determine convex vs. concave:
- Convex: every interior angle < 180° (no inward dents). Any line through the polygon intersects it in at most one segment.
- Concave: at least one interior angle > 180° (there is at least one “indent”).
- Quick test: walk around the vertices in order and compute the cross product (or signed turn) of each consecutive edge; if all turns have the same sign (all left or all right), it’s convex; if the sign changes at least once, it’s concave.
If you upload the image or tell me how many vertices and whether any corner points point inward, I’ll pick the correct option.
