Polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments called edges or sides, that are closing in a loop to form a closed polygon chain or circuit. A triangle is the simplest polygon that has three sides and three angles. They are special because they are the only polygons with minimum number of sides. The sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
