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.
