Compare with Definitions
Polygon
In geometry, a polygon () is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain (or polygonal circuit). The bounded plane region, the bounding circuit, or the two together, may be called a polygon.
Quadrangle
A four-sided plane figure, especially a square or rectangle.
Polygon
A plane figure with at least three straight sides and angles, and typically five or more.
Quadrangle
A square or rectangular space or courtyard enclosed by buildings.
Polygon
A closed plane figure bounded by three or more line segments.

Quadrangle
(Mathematics) A quadrilateral.
Polygon
(geometry) A plane figure bounded by edges that are all straight lines.
Quadrangle
A rectangular area surrounded on all four sides by buildings.
Polygon
(geometry) The boundary of such a figure.
Quadrangle
The buildings bordering this area.
Polygon
A figure comprising vertices and (not necessarily straight) edges, alternatingly.
Quadrangle

Polygon
(geometry) Such a figure and its interior, taken as a whole.
Quadrangle
(geometry) A geometric shape with four angles and four straight sides; a four-sided polygon.
Polygon
A plane figure having many angles, and consequently many sides; esp., one whose perimeter consists of more than four sides; any figure having many angles.
Quadrangle
A courtyard which is quadrangular.
Polygon
A closed plane figure bounded by straight sides
Quadrangle
The buildings forming the border of such a courtyard.
Quadrangle
