A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric figure with straight sides. The number of sides in a polygon can vary, but it must have at least three sides to be considered a polygon. Common examples include a triangle (3 sides), quadrilateral (4 sides), pentagon (5 sides), and so forth. Polygons can have any number of sides, theoretically going up to infinity.
