A polygon is a closed plane figure made up of line segments.


Each line segment is a side.


The point where the two sides meet is called a vertex.

How to name polygons

Polygons can have any number of sides as long as they follow the rules of a polygon.


Once we get past 8 sides, we usually start saying how many sides the polygon has and "sided polygon" at the end.


Example: 13-sided polygon
