A polygon is any figure that can be subdivided into triangles, which means that it has to have straight sides. A quadrilateral has straight sides, but exactly four of them. Squares, rectangles, parallelograms are all quadrilaterals and polygons.
A polygon has 3 or more sides whereas quadrilaterals are 4 sided polygons
