poly means 'many' and gon means 'sides'
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
A shape in 3D is a polygon. Poly=many and gon=shape.
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)
