Best Answer

A circle; a line; or a shape composed of connected lines that do not make a single closed path. Sometimes people say a circle is in fact a polygon with an infinite number of sides. But a closed shape with an infinite number of sides would have to be made of sides with a length of zero; such "sides" are points and not lines. A circle does not therefore meet the definition of a polygon.
