Answer:
polygon is any 2-dimensional shape formed with straight lines. Triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons are all examples of polygons. The name tells you how many sides the shape has. For example, a triangle has three sides, and a quadrilateral has four sides. So, any shape that can be drawn by connecting three straight lines is called a triangle, and any shape that can be drawn by connecting four straight lines is called a quadrilateral.

All of these shapes are polygons. Notice how all the shapes are drawn with only straight lines? This is what makes a polygon. If the shape had curves or didn't fully connect, then it can't be called a polygon. The orange shape is still a polygon even if it looks like it has an arrow. All the sides are straight, and they all connect. The orange shape has 11 sides.
I've mentioned a few polygons and have shown you a few common shapes. Here is a list of those in addition to several more:
