Polygon

A polygon is a closed shape in two dimensions bounded by straight lines. They can be convex or convex. polygons are a special subset of polygons with congruent edges and interior angles, and are infinite in number, unlike their higher-dimensional equivalents. The simplest possible polygon is a triangle.

All polygons are technically self-dual, because the number of vertices are always the same as the number of edges. However, there are names used to distinguish geometrically dual pairs of polygons, such as an isosceles trapezoid and a kite, which are duals to each other.

The possible symmetries of a polygon include no symmetry (scalene triangle), central inversion symmetry (parallelogram), mirror symmetry (isosceles triangle), and dihedral symmetry (square).

In our three-dimensional world, polygons can occur naturally, such as hexagons in snowflakes, or artificially, such as in art and in coins.
