Any closed two dimentional figure that is made with straight lines.
A triangle is a polygon; a square, a rectangle, a diamong are polygons. A pentagon is a 5 sided polygon, and so on.

poly = many
gon = 2 dimensional closed shape with distinct sides.
polygon: a multi-sided (at least 3) shape in 2 dimensions usually closed like a triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon etc.... A circle or a star are not polygons.

A plain figure with any number of sides.
e.g. a triangle is a polygon with three sides
a pentagon is a five sided plain figure.

It is a geometric shape existing entirely in a two dimensional plane, having straight edges/sides... which enclose and bound a given region/area... and whose sides intersect at corner points forming distinct angles.

"Poly" means many. "gon" refers to angles. So, many angles each of two sides a piece.
Most polygons can be defined by a word which tells you exactly how many sides there are. e.g. triangle, square, pentagon (!), etc..
