Not sure of the formal proof, but consider:

Suppose you can have a polygon with 2 sides. Start with one 'vertex' and connect to the second 'vertex' with a straight line segment - that's one side. Now for the second side, connect a straight line segment from the second vertex back to the first vertex. This will be the same line segment that you just drew.

Try drawing a polygon with 1, or 0 sides, as well. You cannot do it. "Polygon" comes from Greek for "many corners".
