Problem Statement

A polygon is decomposed into triangles by drawing some non-intersecting interior diagonals in such a way that for every pair of triangles of the triangulation sharing a common side, the sum of the angles opposite to this common side is greater than 180o180^o. a) Prove that this polygon is convex. b) Prove that the circumcircle of every triangle used in the decomposition contains the entire polygon.
