A polygon is a closed plane shape that is bounded by straight lines. A figure that is not a polygon is one the does not satisfy all three requirements.

If the boundaries of the shape move in three (or more) dimensions then it cannot be a polygon. For example, consider a die, ABCDEFGH where the square EFGH is directly under ABCD. Then ABCGHDA is a closed figure, bounded by straight lines but it is not a plane figure.


If ABCD is a square, then ABC is not a polygon because it is not closed.


A circle, ellipse, semicircle, a squiggle are not polygons because they are bounded by sides that are no all straight.

Oh, dude, a circle is not a polygon. Like, polygons have straight sides, and a circle is all curvy and smooth, so it's like the rebel shape that doesn't fit in with the polygon crew. So, if you see a shape rolling around without any corners, that's your non-polygon buddy, the circle.
