No, A polygon is a closed geometric figure whose sides are nothing more than line segments. Each corner of a polygon where two sides intersect is called a vertex of the polygon.

It is called a polygon. * * * * * Yes, but only if they are straight line segments. And, in that case, the shape is a quadrilateral.
The point that divides a line segment into two equal parts is called the midpoint.|________________|________________|Let the first vertical line, | , represent point A. Let the second vertical line represent point C. Let the third vertical line represent point B.Before we divided this line, it was segment AB. The MIDPOINT, C, divided it into two equal parts.
No, A polygon is a closed geometric figure whose sides are nothing more than line segments. Each corner of a polygon where two sides intersect is called a vertex of the polygon.
The midpoint of the line segment of (-4, -3) and (7, -5) is at (1.5, -4)
A quadrilateral.

Just off the top of my head . . . -- 4 parallel line segments, with a separate line segment crossing all of them -- 5 line segments all hooked together at the same point in the center, like five spokes of a wagon wheel.

A closed geometric figure could be called a polylateral - but that is a very obscure word - or simply a polygon. Generally such a figure is referred to in terms of how many lines it is composed of: 3 = triangle 4= quadrilateral 5 = pentagon, etc.
A recangle has 4 line segments. (Each side is a line segment).
