A diagonal is a straight line connecting non-adjacent vertices in a polygon or a polyhedron, effectively bridging corners that are not directly next to each other. This concept is pivotal in geometry for calculating distances, understanding shapes, and solving problems related to angles and symmetry.

A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric figure with a finite number of straight sides that are fully closed to form a shape. Polygons are categorized by the number of sides they have, such as triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons, and play a fundamental role in geometry and computer graphics.

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. It is a fundamental object of study in geometry and can be classified into various types, such as regular, irregular, convex, and concave polyhedra.

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relationships of points, lines, surfaces, and shapes in space. It encompasses various subfields that explore dimensions, transformations, and theorems to understand and solve spatial problems.
