Is a cube a polygon? Why or why not?

A polygon is a 2 dimensional figure that can be drawn on a flat surface.

A cube is a 3 dimensional figure that can be sculpted in three dimensions but can only have projections of it drawn on a flat surface.

So a cube is not a polygon.

No because a polygon is a flat shape, but a cube has three dimensions, therefore it's a polyhedron.
