This is geometry!

A point is a tiny dot that forms the straightest, thinnest line that extends in both direction infinitely. Countless numbers of those lines all placed together without leaving any spaces create a plane. If you were to stack the planes on top of each the result is a solid. A ray has one end point and goes on forever.

A polygon is a figure with closed sides of straight line segments (two end points at the vertices) (E.g. square, pentagon, hexagon, et cetera...). A regular polygon is one which the sides have the same length. For example an equilateral triangle or a rhombus.

A polygon is a plane; a polyhedron is a solid.
