The correct answer is it is a figure with at least 3 straight sides. When you think of a square or a triangle they both have at least 3 sides that are straight. A circle doesn't have any straight sides so it is not a polygon.
You can prove that the other answer is wrong because of two things:
The definition of a polygon is a plane figure with at least three straight sides.
Also, when you think of most shapes what do they all have in common? The have at least three straight sides
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(y - 2)²
Step-by-step explanation:
9y² - 12y + 4 ← is a perfect square of the form
(ax - b)² = a²x² - 2abx + b²
Compare like terms with 9y² - 12y + 4, thus
a² = 9 ⇒ a = 3
b² = 4 ⇒ b = 2 and
- 2ab = - 2 × 3 × 2 = - 12
Thus
9y² - 12y + 4 = (3y - 2)²
