Any polygon with four or more sides can have perpendicular and parallel lines.
If it's a regular polygon, and you know the length of the perpendicular from the center to the middle of a side, and the length of a side, A = LNS, where L is the length of the perpendicular, N is the number of sides, and S is the number of sides. See the link for a more detailed explanation of various ways to compute the area of regular polygons.
A polygon with 1,000 sides is known as a chiliagon. A hectogon is a polygon that has 100 sides, and a polygon with 8 sides is called an octagon.
