Hey there, could you please explain what a Polygon is in simple terms? I'm not too tech-savvy and I've heard it mentioned in the context of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Could you break it down for me like I'm a dummy? I'd really appreciate it if you could make it easy to understand. Thanks in advance!

A Polygon is a fundamental geometric concept, specifically defined as a closed, two-dimensional shape composed of straight line segments, known as sides, connected end-to-end.

Regular polygons are a subset of polygons where all sides are congruent, meaning they have the same length, and all interior angles are equal.

The properties of regular polygons allow for the calculation of both exterior and interior angles using straightforward formulas, making them particularly useful in mathematical and engineering applications.

In contrast, irregular polygons, those without congruent sides or equal angles, do not lend themselves to such direct calculations for their angles.
