A polygon is a closed plane or two-dimensional figure whose sides are straight line segments. A polygon can have any number of sides. The simplest polygon is a triangle that has three sides. A polygon is named depending on the number of sides it has.
- A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. A pentagon has five sides and so on.
- A polygon has vertices, sides, angles, diagonals, and so on.
