A polygon is just a word used to describe any plane figure bounded by straight lines. A triangle is just one of many different polygons; others are a rectangle, pentagon, octagon etc.
Triangles are said to be similar when they have the same shape but one is an enlargement of the other. The triangles must therefore be equi-angular and the ratios of corresponding sides have to be equal.
