The corresponding structural formulas of ciscis- and transtrans-cyclodecene, respectively, are depicted below.

Please note that the rings are not\textit{not} planar in these cases (not to be confused with naphthalene), and most of the carbons are sp3sp^3 hybridized with bond angles about 109.5°\text{\textdegree}. This means that the true 3D structures ar not concave.
