A polygon is a plane area which is bounded by straight lines. It has the same number of sides as vertices and is classified according to the number of vertices that it has. That said, in the case of 4, it is called a 4-sided shape - a quadrilateral. Polygons are named using Greek prefices for the number of vertices:3 = triangle
4 = quadrilateral
5 = pentagon
6 = hexagon
7 = heptagon (less commonly, septagon)
8 = octagon
9 = nonagon
10 = decagon
11 = hendecagon (not well known)
12 = dodecagon.
Beyond 12, it is recommended that you simply use the number: for example "37-gon" for a polygon with 37 vertices. The exception are
- you are with a Greek audience,
- you are pretentious,
- you wish to obfuscate rather than communicate.

What is the name of a polygon with all sides and angles different?
It is an irregular polygon
What is the difference between a regular polygon and polygon -?
A regular polygon has equal sides and same sizes of interior angles whereas an irregular polygon has sides of different lengths and different sizes of interior angles
What is the difference between a regular polygon and a irregular polygon?
'Regular' means that all the sides on the polygon are the same length and all angles are the same size. On an irregular polygon, the sides can be different lengths and angles can be different sizes.
What is a polygon with three sides of different lengths?
A polygon whih have 3 sides but different legths its may be a scalene triangle
What is the difference between a regular polygon and non-regular polygon?
All the sides of a regular polygon have the same length. If two or more sides of a polygon have different lengths, then the polygon is not regular.
What is the difference between a reaglur polygon and a polygon?
A regular polygon: a polygon with all the same size sides and angles. A polygon: can be different. EX: isosceles triangle. Hope this helps(: ~MICHIGAN NATIVE(:
