A polygon is a 2 dimensional (flat) geometric figure with 3 or more sides. The computer screen you are looking at right now is probably a polygon. So is the door to your room, a window, the mattress on your bed, etc
Polygons are closed plane figures with straight line edges and several sides. For example triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, and hexagons.
Remember!
Circles are not polygonal shapes!
Polygon comes from two Greek words:
- πολύς (polús) meaning much or many; and
- γωνία (gōnía) meaning corner.
A "Polygon" is a shape with many corners (angles).

What are examples of regular polygons?
Tessellations
Name types of polygons?
Some examples of polygons include circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, and hexagons. These are examples of 'simple polygons,' in that none of the lines overlap and intersect each other, such as in a pentagram, which is a 'star polygon.'
Which shapes are polygons and which are not?
A polygon is a two-dimensional shape enclosed by lines only, not curves. So triangles, squares, rectangles, and octagons are examples of polygons. Circles, ellipses, and annuli are some shapes that are not polygons.
Can a polygon be equilangular but not equilateral?
A polygon can be equilateral but not always equiangular. Some examples of this are rhomboids and other polygons like pentagons and hexagons.
How many polygons are there?
There is an infinite amount of polygons.

A square and a rectangle are examples of you?
Potential answers: shapes, polygons, quadrilaterals [four-sided polygons], parallelograms [quadrilaterals with opposite sides of the same length and parallel to each other].
What is a three-dimensional figure whose surfaces are polygons?
A polyhedron. Examples include pyramids and cubes.
what is the name of polygons you given to a shape?
There are lots of different types of polygons Polygons are classified into various types based on the number of sides and measures of the angles.: Regular Polygons Irregular Polygons Concave Polygons Convex Polygons Trigons Quadrilateral Polygons Pentagon Polygons Hexagon Polygons Equilateral Polygons Equiangular Polygons
What are some examples of concave polygons in real life?
2 examples which immediately come to mind are a star and a cross, especially the plus sign. especially when the interior is broad.
