A polygon is a closed, two-dimensional shape formed by straight line segments. These segments, called sides, are connected end-to-end to create a closed path. Polygons are fundamental geometric figures, and can be classified based on the number of sides they have (e.g., triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon). They are widely studied in mathematics and have applications in various fields like computer graphics, engineering, and architecture.
