A polygon is a closed figure bounded by sides. A polygon can't be formed with only one side.

Explanation:

If there is one line then we don't get a closed figure.

With two lines and their intersection we get an angle, but if we include one more line such that it also intersects the other two lines except at the point where the other two intersect then we get a triangle.

And a triangle is a closed figure, means it is a polygon.

So, a polygon with minimum number of sides(3 sides) is triangle.

So minimum of 3 sides are needed.
