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.
What else can I help you with?
Can two dimensional shapes be classified as polygons?
Polygons are a special type of 2-dimensional shapes.
What is the definition of a non polygon?
A non-polygon is a shape that does not meet the criteria of a polygon, which requires it to be a closed figure made up of straight line segments. Non-polygons can include irregular shapes like circles, curves, or any figures with curved lines. Additionally, non-polygons may also refer to shapes that are not closed, such as open lines or incomplete figures.
What mathematical word is used for shapes that are flat?

Are 3 dimensional shapes considered polygons?
No.
What are the names of multi sided shapes?
multi sided shapes are called polygons
What are some examples of non-polygons?
Non-polygons include shapes that do not have straight edges or a closed structure. Examples are circles, ellipses, and parabolas, which consist of curved lines. Additionally, shapes like stars or figures with intersecting lines that do not form a closed shape, such as a spiral, also fall into the category of non-polygons.
Which shapes have a parallel sides?
All regular polygons with an even number of sides. Irregular polygons with an odd number of sides can have parallel sides. There are also non polygonal shapes that can have parallel sides.
What is used to create a regular tessellation?
The only shapes which can be used for a regular tessellation are:An equilateral triangle,A squareA regular hexagon.There are also non-regular polygons as well as shapes which are not polygons which can tessellate
Are all shapes polygons?
Not all shapes are polygons. Polygons are shapes that have to have straight sides and be closed figures. So a shape that is curved would not be a polygon.
