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.

What is the maximum number of sides for a polygon?
Any number above 3 sides which is the minimum
How many sides possible in a polygon?
The number of sides possible in a polygon is a minimum of 3, with an unlimited maximum. For a regular polygon, as the number of sides approaches infinity, it approaches the shape of a circle.
How many sides are there on a regular polygon?
No fixed number. The minimum is 3 sides, for a triangle. Beyond about 20 sides, it's difficult to distinguish it visually from a circle.
How many types of polygon you have?
A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. There are an infinite number of polygons, as the polygon is classified by the number of sides.
A polygon with the least possible number of sides?
A polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle (3 sides)
What do you call a polygon with 2sides and 2 right angles?
The minimum number of sides for a polygon is 3 sides.
What is the maximum number of sides for a polygon?
Any number above 3 sides which is the minimum
How many sides possible in a polygon?
The number of sides possible in a polygon is a minimum of 3, with an unlimited maximum. For a regular polygon, as the number of sides approaches infinity, it approaches the shape of a circle.
Which polygon has the minimum number of sides?
A triangle has the fewest amount of sides possible to create a closed figure.
Can a Square have 104 sides?
No, a square by definition can have only 4 sides. A polygon is a plane figure bounded by straight lines. A polygon can have any number of sides (minimum 3) and therefore a 104-sided polygon can be created.
What is the given name of the 2 sided polygon?
Normally the minimum number sides a polygon can have is 3 which is a triangle and probably there is no such name given to a 2 sided polygon.
Which is the minimum number of sides of a polygon?
Anything over 2. Some, eg triangle, are special cases...
What is the polygon that has the most number of sides?
Technically, a polygon can have an unlimited number of sides.
How many sides are there on a regular polygon?
No fixed number. The minimum is 3 sides, for a triangle. Beyond about 20 sides, it's difficult to distinguish it visually from a circle.
How do you find how many sides a polygon would have with only an angle?
If the only information that you have is the angle and the shape is a polygon, then you cannot determine how many sides the polygon consists of. The minimum number of sides is 3, but without seeing a picture, or knowing what type of polygon (e.g. right triangle or equalaterial triangle), then you won't be able to determine how many sides the polygon has.

A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. There are an infinite number of polygons, as the polygon is classified by the number of sides.
A polygon with the least possible number of sides?
A polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle (3 sides)
