What is a figure having a polygon and base and triangler sides which meet in a point at the top?
This sounds like you are talking about a pyramid. Pyramids in Geometry are not restricted to the square pyramids you may be used to seeing in pictures of from Egypt. Pyramids are named after the type of polygon that make up their base. In Egypt, since the bases of those pyramids are squares, they are known as square pyramids. If you had a pyramid with a pentagon for a base, then it would be a pentagonal pyramid. Pyramids always have triangles for sides that meet at a common point at the top which is known as the apex.

How are polygons used in daily life?
Nearly every object is some type of rectangle or triangle. Typically squares,triangles,and hexagons are the most common of polygons.

Another example might be cardboard boxes.
What type of polygon is needed to make a tessellation?
Any polygon can be used to create a tessellation as long as it can fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons with equal sides and angles, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons, are most commonly used for tessellations.

Triangles are the strongest type of shape. It is very sturdy, but takes up little space. It is the best for building bridges.
If the polygon is regular what is the size of each interior angle?
this depends on what type of polygon it is.. if it is a regular triangle, then all interior angles measure up to 180 degrees. So, a triangles interior angles would measure 60 degrees each.

You count them. In some cases, where the shape has a high degree of symmetry, you can use shortcuts, such as determining that a certain type of triangle repeats several times in a predictable manner.
