Homework Statement



Prove the Int<ABC is a convex set.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



1. Int <ABC = H(A,BC) intersect H(C,AB) by the definition of interior.
2. H(A,BC) is convex and H(C,AB) is convex by Half-Plane Axioms

I know I need to show the intersection of the two half planes is convex but I do not know how to do this.

It would help if you would tell us what "ABC" is! Are "A", "B", "C" points and "ABC" the region bounded by the triangle with those vertices?
 
Regardless of the notation, once you get to
I know I need to show the intersection of the two half planes is convex but I do not know how to do this.

Prove in general that the intersection of two convex sets is convex
