Naming of polygons
Hello guys,
I don't know how to understand a sentence below, esp. the part marked in red:
[A polygon is named by giving its vertices in the order they are connected.]
For your reference, here is a discription in Wikipedia for naming polygons, which sounds reasonable and I can understand easily:
[ Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides.]
I guess those two sentences mean same thing but have no idea how they can be so.
(Am I wrong?)
I hope to hear about your thoughts on how to interpret the part marked in red above.
Thansks for your kind comments~

The two sentences don't have the same meaning. This is how I would interpret them:
Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides.
This means, for example, that a three-sided polygon is called a triangle, a four-sided polygon is called
