Polygon

Vox gaming site

A polygon is a flat, closed shape with straight sides—triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and so on.

The term comes from Greek words meaning "many angles." Regular polygons have sides of equal length and equal angles; irregular polygons don't.

The stop sign is an octagon, an eight-sided polygon.
