Two straight lines cannot enclose a space - therefore three lines is the minimum requirement for a polygon.
I would like to note that a digon is a polygon and it has 2 sides. Therefore, the minimum is 2. However, some people call a digon an improper polygon since it contradicts the definition of polygon. A digon can only be made on a sphere, so the answer is never truly correct.
