Polygon
What is a polygon?
A polygon is a closed figure made by joining line segments with at least three vertices.
A point where 2 line segments intersect is called a vertex (corner).
The line segments are called sides of the polygon.
Diagonals are segments that connect one vertex to another through the interior of the polygon.
Triangles and quadrilaterals are examples of polygons.
The word "polygon" comes from Greek, meaning "many angles."
In the figure below, three polygons are shown.

What is a regular polygon?
A polygon whose all sides are equal, all angles are equal, is called regular polygon
In the figure below, three regular polygons are shown.
They are equilateral triangle, square and regular pentagon.
