A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
inword
A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
A mirror that is curved outwards is called a convex mirror. Convex mirrors cause light rays to diverge, which results in a wider field of view and produces smaller, upright images. They are commonly used in applications like vehicle side mirrors and security mirrors due to their ability to minimize blind spots.
I'm unable to view images or diagrams, so I can't identify which mirror is a single concave mirror based on your description. However, a single concave mirror is characterized by its inwardly curved reflective surface. If you can provide descriptions of the mirrors, I can help you determine which one is the concave mirror.
To draw the principal axis for a concave mirror, start by sketching a horizontal line that represents the principal axis. Then, draw the concave mirror as a curved line facing the incoming light, with the reflective surface on the inside of the curve. Mark the focal point (F) on the principal axis at a distance equal to the focal length from the mirror's surface, and indicate the center of curvature (C) at twice that distance (2F) from the mirror. This principal axis is essential for understanding how light rays reflect off the mirror.
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.

It depends on the shape of mirror. If the mirror is straight and not curved, light bounces back in a manner. If it is curved, the reflected image will look different.

because they need to be curved in order to reflect like a convex mirror needs to be curved so it can show thing bigger
A concave mirror is curved inwards, causing light rays parallel to the mirror's axis to converge at a focal point in front of the mirror. This type of mirror can be used for focusing light in various optical devices like telescopes and shaving mirrors.
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
