: Three consecutive vertices $a, b, c$ form an *ear* of a polygon if
 | 
			
		||||
$a c$ is a diagonal of the polygon. The vertex $b$ is called the ear
 | 
			
		||||
*tip*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Corollary 1.9**
 | 
			
		||||
: Every polygon with more than three vertices has at least two ears.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A vertex of a polygon is *reflex* if its angle is greater than $\pi$
 | 
			
		||||
and *convex* if its angle is less than or equal to $\pi$. It is *flat*
 | 
			
		||||
if its angle is exactly $\pi$ and *strictly convex* if its angle is
 | 
			
		||||
strictly less than $\pi$.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A polygon $P$ is a *convex polygon* if all of its vertices are
 | 
			
		||||
strictly convex.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Lemma 1.18**
 | 
			
		||||
: A diagonal exists between any two nonadjacent vertices of a polygon
 | 
			
		||||
$P$ if and only if $P$ is a convex polygon.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Theorem 1.19**
 | 
			
		||||
: The number of triangulations of a convex polygon with $n + 2$
 | 
			
		||||
vertices is the Catalan number $$ C_n = \frac{1, n + 1}{n + 1 \choose
 | 
			
		||||
n} $$
