Have someone help you edit your question; we can't quite understand what you want to know. There are many different kinds of polygon, polygon is a general term for any enclosed plane figure with straight sides. If you take away the 'poly' and add other prefixes like penta-, hexa- octa- or deca-, that tells you how many sides that polygon has. Penta means 5, hexa means six, octa means 8, deca means 10. There are many other ways to describe polygons.

What is true about a polygon?
a polygon is a closed up shape with vertices and sides ,for example a triangle is a polygon because it is made up of 3 sides and 3 vertices
Should a polygon have all straight sides?

Does a polygon have four sides?
Answer: Yes it can have four sides, but as the explanation below shows, it can have many other numbers of sides as well. Explanation: A polygon can have as many sides as needed. We give specific names to polygons dependent upon the number of sides that it has: triangle: A polygon made with three sides. quadrilateral: A polygon made with four sides. pentagon: A polygon made with five sides. hexagon: A polygon made with six sides. heptagon: A polygon made with seven sides. octagon: A polygon made with eight sides . In fact, if we have n sides, we can call that polygon an n-gon. So in short, yes a polygon can have four sides, so all 4 sided shapes are polygons, however, not all polygons have four sides.

Is a Polygon 8 sided?
A polygon can have 8 sides but does not have to. The word "Polygon" is made up of two words: "poly-" and "-gon" which have Greek roots which mean "many" and "angle" respectively; literally a "polygon" is a "many angled shape". A polygon is any shape that has 3 or more sides. An 8 sided polygon is called an octagon (literally "eight angles").
