Abstract: We study the probability distribution of the area and the number of vertices of random polygons in a convex set $Ksubsetmathbb{R}^2$. The novel aspect of our approach is that it yields uniform estimates for all convex sets $Ksubsetmathbb{R}^2$ without imposing any regularity conditions on the boundary $partialK$. Our main result is a central limit theorem for both the area and the number of vertices, settling a well-known conjecture in the field. We also obtain asymptotic results relating the growth of the expectation and variance of these two functionals.
