most polygons have 4 sides but they can also have 3 sides
non polygons can have 8 9 or 12 sides
The above answer is total rubbish. The following is mostly correct except that a polygon must have straight sides so you cannot have a polygon with two sides.
Answer: a polygon is a closed figure having any number of sides more than one. (poly=many) A polygon with 3 sides is a triangle. A polygon with four sides might be a square, rhombus, rectangle or something completely irregular. Angles do not have to be right angles.
A figure that is not enclosed ( a squiggle, a semicircle, any open figure) is not a polygon.
