Final answer:

The prefix in the name of a polygon does indicate the number of sides it has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is True. The prefix in the name of a polygon does indicate the number of sides it has. For example, a decagon has ten sides because the prefix 'deca-' means ten. Similarly, a pentagon has five sides because the prefix 'penta-' means five.
