How it's used
Geometric terms like this are borrowed directly from formal mathematical terminology used in schools. While perfectly understandable, they are rarely used in casual daily conversation unless one is specifically discussing geometry or design. Most people would simply describe the shape by counting the sides if they encountered one in the wild.
