Buck,

I agree with you. I too cannot figure out what Art is trying to say.
However, your response containing the definition of a polygon is
incorrect. There is no requirement for equal sides or angles.

Right. Webster says a plane polygon is a closed figure bounded by
straight lines. No mention of number, length or angles, although it
seems to me that you best have at least three sides, although Art
might have a new polyglot method that uses only two. [g]

Art,

Your description is too vague for someone who doesn't have some form
of reference (maybe this is a continuation of a discussion from
elsewhere?) Anyway, since a polygon is any shape with more than two
sides in which all sides and angles are equal, this leaves a rather
wide variety of shapes.
