No. Cubes are three-dimensional, and polygons are two-dimensional.
'poly' is from Latin and means 'many'. 'gon' , again from Latin, and means a 2-dimentional figure. So 'polygon' means a many sided two=dimensional figure.
It means angle or corner. (poly gon - many angled)
a Heptagon is a seven sided polygon
No. In geometry polygons refer to flat shapes, that only have two dimensions. From Greek Poly- means many, and -gon means angles. Polyhedrons are the three dimensional equivalent. So a cube is a polyhedron, not a polygon.
Polygon comes from two parts: Poly -> Many Gon -> angle So literally: poly-gon = many-angles. A polygon is a plane with more than two corners

name of a polygon with 12 sides = dodecagon
centagan: 100-gon
More sides"poly-" = many"-gon" = sides
In general, poly. Specifically, there are infinite prefixes. Examples include deca, octa, and penta.
polygons are 2d(square), poly hedrons are 3d(cube)
It doesn't matter what shape it is, the sum of the exterior angels in any polygon is 180.
