Apsolotely not it is far away from ever being one unless you mechcanicaly pulled both ends of it and streched it out. Dr. Joseph Blue No!

Polygon is closed plane figure made up of 3 or more line segments.

Sphere is a three-dimensional figure with all points in space at an equaldistance from a fixed point.

The fixed point is called as center of the sphere.

So, a polygon is a two-dimensional figure and a sphere is a three-dimensional shape.

Hence, a sphere is not a polygon.

Make a generalization for each set of polygons?

Polygons are unbounded because they close on themselves in a circuit. An infinite polygon goes on forever, making it unbounded. A skew polygon has three dimensions of zig-zagging and a spherical polygon, on the sphere surface, is a circuit of corners and sides.


What is a solid figure with one face that is a polygon?

A polygon is a many sided 2-dimensional figure, and thus could never be "solid" Alternatively, it could be "one face that is a polygon". In that case the solid could be like a pyramid that morphs into a cone or a part-sphere. The base would be the one polygon, the other face would not.
