#REDIRECT [[Talk:Polygon]]
I am not sure of this, but I believe that the picture at the top of this article (labeled: "An assortment of polygons") contains an error. The figure on the far right is not technically a polygon, since "A polygon is a closed figure made by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others.", as defined by:


{{Rcat shell|
http://www.mathleague.com/help/geometry/polygons.htm#polygon (and also defined in my daughter's first grade textbook)
{{R from comment subpage}}

}}
The figure in the right of the picture contains lines that cross each other several times.

Perhaps the definition of a polygon (at the top of the article) also needs to be modified to include this restriction?
